Keep us up-to-date on how well this is all working for you.

I'm planning to use the Edelbrock fuel system which runs only a vent back to ththe tank. That way I can use the vapor vent line that is already there. This is my plan but you know how plans are.

Excellent, I have a sniper on my Camaro. That 427 SBC will be coming out and going in the C10 with the sniper as well. I love it so far, from what little I've driven it. Was fighting some RFI issues at first but I got those cleaned up with some better wiring. I think you'll really like it!

The recommendation of a better HEI module is interesting. Not something that would've come to mind immediately.

What is the diameter of the clamps for the o2 sensor? I am close to pulling the trigger on one of the master kits, but I want to order everything I need at once so I don't have to run back and forth to the parts store. I have 2 1/2" exhaust.
Thanks for the write up and review.

The master kit comes with the clamps. I believe my exhaust to be 2.5" and the clamps worked out just fine. Anything smaller and you might have an issue getting the clamps tight. Only stuff I was extra wiring, hard fuel line and some different angled fittings. Probably could have used everything hte kit had to offer, but did not want it to look messy

Oh, and so far loving it. Nice to turn the key and have it fire right up. Only tweak has been the idle.

More proof that people thinking Snipers don't work in hot weather climates are wrong.

It really "boils" down to fuel recycling. I could have put a simple return system with the carb, but with the mechanical pump its only of value when cranking or running. I could have switched to an electric pump, but now I am getting closer to fuel injection, so why not go all in.

The other benefit is the throttle response. I know a carb can be tuned, but who has time to deal with that, especially when it is not a daily driver. Plus now this thing now gets up and goes.

The next problem to tackle is the underhood temperatures and install some sort of custom cold air intake, so its not breathing 300 degree air.
