i am putting a holley sniper on my 49 dodge wayfarer    part number 550-552    made for a 65-66 67 mustang   with a 200 6 cylinder  says it will handle up to 175 hp

it is a one barrel tbi unit the bolt pattern is almost the same    the tbi unit is shorter so i am making a spacer to raise it up so the linkage will work 

i will also need to be converted to 12 volt    and install o2 sensor and temp sensor    the holley sniper is self tunning  with a learn program i have one on my 66 mustang 

has anyone done this before

I am working on a manifold adapter to my edmunds dual 1BBL manifold to take a Holley Sniper 2BBL. Given what we know about the physical fuel distribution issues that have been discussed at length here on the forum....

 

...I am thinking the the dual 1BBL physical layout with a Holley Sniper feeding it may yield the improvement that the Dodge Engineers figured out then they went to a dual 1BBL Carters and dual exhaust set up that ended up with 136 HP on a 265 engine.

I was looking at this exact system and am VERY interested in how it works out for you.

Other than to say installing the Langdons HEI was the best thing I had done to the 41 Plymouth when I owned it.......the car had been converted to 12 volts when I bought it, I bought the HEI & the round style coil, shipped and delivered promptly to me here in Oz, I installed it without any issue......new 8mm plug leads and regaped plugs to, from memory, 45thou and it ran great......started even better.......as my car had had a late model key start installed when it was converted to 12 volts I could have the drivers window open, lean in and turn the key and within a couple of turns over it would start.............ran well, seemed if anything to have more get up & go......I thoroughly recommend the HEI........unfortunately I sold the car like a dope..........these are the only pic I have showing the HEI & new leads..............andyd

This is the carb spacer  I made. 
I used a jegs 103118 gas tank fitting for the vent line required for the Holley sniper 

it made the vent line very easy I just drained the tank left it open for a week 

then drilled a 1/2 hole.  The fitting installed from the outside like a moly bolt
