Wheeler 2,525 Posted July 27, 2020 Well I e had NOTHING but ISSUES since day 1 after I installed the Holley Sniper EFI on my 383.. so today the decision was made after consulting the shop, that I’m going back to basics.. The Sniper, HyperSpark Dizzy getting removed. Going with a new Edlebrock AVS2 Carb, MSD Mechanical/Vacuum Advance Dizzy. Keep the Blaster Coil, & new 340LHR Fuel Pump with regulator to back er down... fingers crossed all my issues will be resolved!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,605 Posted July 27, 2020 Interesting. That sniper EFI kit has been pretty popular with the Jeep guys. I'm sticking to my MC2100 carbs. Dang things are so simple my one year old could probably rebuild one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheeler 2,525 Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) @jeepwm69 I’ve had nothing but issues from day 1. Leans out, won’t start ect. I’ve tried 2 speed shops who “say” they k ow how to work on them. The second shop knew a lot more based off their answers to my research. I’ve been dealing with them. I keep leaning out, & have starting issues. I read one article on hot rod magazine where they took a car with carb, did baseline, then installed a sniper. Carb made more hp/tq than efi.. im just done. Go camping, then truck in shop for week to “try” & fix/tune it.. carb, dialed in = no computer trying to control the fueling ect..

jeepwm69 7,605 Posted July 28, 2020 Yep, EFI is great when it's working, but it's a ! to troubleshoot. I like carbs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted July 28, 2020 I think if you are going to dabble with EFI and want the best performance results , you need your own lap top , software and knowledge , to dial it in yourself 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheeler 2,525 Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) I agree @Fishfiles u r correct. If u are smart with that kinda thing! I just don’t want to try that kind of gamble with my knowledge. My luck I’d blower up! That’s why they having speed shops per say, but u always have to find one that KNOWS their stuff. I know I can’t go wrong with a carb. They aren’t rocket science & been around since what??? 1912?? Lol Edited July 28, 2020 by Wheeler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheeler 2,525 Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) New Edelbrock AVS2 Carb installed....picked it up couple days ago. I had them advance the timing from 15* to 17*. Made nice improvement. Truck finally fires up like Nobodies Business with 1 pump. Gonna take the trailer out this week end, so will will see how I fair...

And don’t tell me a Polaris 800. Lol. Well since ya asked a green Honda 300 with factory flares something to trail run. Or a 1986 CJ7 jeep, 258 straight 6, 5 speed twin stick t case, 33x12.50 tires on 15 inch wheels, but the im trying to decide weather or not to get this green 95 300 before it's gone or get the Jeep for 2,500.00. BTW both are the same price, vehicle or trail rig of my own so we being my mother m n me won't have to fight with my uncle just to bring two wheelers down for a trail ride this summer. What to do what to do. Been unemployed 8 months now, nobody's taking people with landscaping and mechanical experience. I wanna build engines and make a great living. Boy ya go to a trade school for automotive mechanic in highschool and after I get out, get hit with people passing away in your family left n right, then move then get a city mowing job for 7 months then can't find work after Christmas. Nobody's hiring. I wonder if I should get supplemental income and do what I want to be happy. Edited August 15, 2020 by F250 guy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,145 Posted August 15, 2020 Do you have something to drive on the street , if a job where to find you ? --- trucks are more expensive to keep running , you can have fun with a atv for less money , that's if you already have a street ride , you might have to be willing to have a long drive time to find work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still have some time to decide, figure a set of wheels would b more important though. Just seen the 300 and thought wow now we can go trail ride with no fighting with anybody ya know. I got almost 12 grand saved up. I'm not giving up, but just to throw this in the lady at the unemployment office when I originally filed for benefits to get me by told me "I'd seriously consider staying close to home" with my mother working I'm understanding what she meant with the virus deal I'm paying bills and cleaning house..

Fishfiles 20,145 Posted August 15, 2020 I think I would make my street ride my priority , something practical that would take me to work ----but " all work and no play will make Jack a dull boy " , $2,500 for a clean 300 with low hours , well kept and in very good condition , isn't out the box , but it is on the upper end ------ that Jeep looks like a money pit to me , but who am I to say , I have wasted money on toys before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had the frame replaced under recall has 250,000 miles. Seen the Jeep after this and thought hmm would be really cool. But I think practical wins. Look up million miles Toyota Tacoma on YouTube. I was amazed. Plus I kinda had a soft spot for these trucks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
