Had some initial troubles with the holly sniper , if I was to do it again I would use a new fuel tank with pump inside and make sure the return line was not restricted plus use an external fuel pressure regulator right off the hop. Now I need a hood scoop please in bc Canada ,you guys have been a wealth of info here on this site merry Christmas. and thanks again Brent at GEARSTOGO for the 4 speed swap parts and help.This 425 hp blue print crate engine is f ing insane I crappies my panties a little dropping the clutch first test drive after breaking everything in.

    I run the Holley intank pump that bolts into the factory sending location no mods needed. It does not require a return line. Works great with the sniper system.

    How is noise level on this pump? I’ve heard folks complain about noise on some efi pumps!

    Honestly not bad at all. Pretty quite. The injectors can be a bit loud but it not that bad.

    I have the same pump with my Pro-Flo 4 and it works great. when I turn the key on I have to listen for the pump, it only runs a couple of seconds to build pressure then shuts off.

    Which model are you running? Holly's website doesn't show any as compatible with a Maverick/Comet (Although I always suspected that one of them would).

    It’s the one for the 70 mustang. When I get home I a few days I can get a photo. I actually pulled the whole system and went back to carb. It worked fantastic but I missed the simplicity of it. It’s all i a box right now.
