Life after Holley Sniper - back to Carb
I recently bought a car that someone had hot rodded by adding electronic TBI, electric fans, electric fuel pump, moving the battery to the trunk, wild MSD ignition etc...
They burnt the fusible link, it scared them and they gave up.
I got the car and I've gone back to stock with everything I can, carb (Demon 625), viscous fan, mechanical fuel pump,, battery in stock location, Chrysler electronic ignition, etc...
Starts, runs, fun to drive, low maintenance.
I have found that no matter what you do to these old cars, they will never drive like a modern car. The technology has changed so much.
In my humble opinion, that is why I am attracted to them.
My kids don't understand setting the choke on the carb before starting.
They don't know setting points, dwell or what a timing light is for.
Some of them don't want to learn a manual transmission.
That's ok, I'll keep that just for me.
