In this video our 1968 C10 gets some awesome engine upgrades! We stopped by Summit Racing in Arlington and were originally going to just pick up this new Holley electronic fuel injection system but realized that the truck totally needed some engine dress up parts, so we added some aluminum racing valve covers and chrome air filter to clean things up a bit.
The EFI install and drive was really fun and turned out to be an awesome upgrade.

Kool 68 chevy keep us updated on how the Holley performs long term enjoy your truck
Will she idle down at 700rpm?
Hi! Any updates now on the whole efi conversion? Did you keep the tank in the cab, did you add or have to do more than what was set up in this video? Could you explain more on how you installed the return line into the oem style tank. Thanks!
This might be a dumb question but how did you thread the fuel return line fitting into the hole you drilled? And what’s keeping it in place? Because I’m trying to do the same with the stock tank.
So can you get away with a stock distributor not points but a stock one like so you have to use the msd thing ?
What did you use for the return line as in how you put it in the tank. Did you just drill a hole to add that fitting and was there one that goes on the inside of the tank. What fitment is it aswell
Thanks
wooow i sure wish i had your money…..
Is a msd required
Great video – and loved the valve covers!
Dang that sucks all that money and they spelt ford wrong
One quick note… I learned this the hard way… It's usually better to use crimp terminals versus solder, because in a high vibration environment, the solder joints tend to crack. That's why in that venue crimp terminals are better. Just get ones that plug into a nice waterproof connector and viola!
what pully setup is that
I'm about to add it to my '29 ford running a chevy SB350…. how do you feel about it 2 years later? Has it held up? Worth the price?
Have part # for the valve covers?
Can I use point distributer
I am planning on ordering one of these for my old caddy, I also wanna get an electronic distributer, would it be best to install them at the same time
Is it solid cam or what's the rocker arm noise
850 seems high for idle, isnt it supposed to be closer to like 650-750 rpm?
Your 68 looks nearly identical to a 67 c10 custom i used to have.
consider notching the dual plane manifolds, its that divider wall in between the 4 ports needs to be cut down a bit, (while out of the vehicle of course) the sniper seems to prefer single plane manifolds, you can get a whistle and poor idle and more problems using an unmodified dual plane manifold, also i recommend switching to a progress throttle link, its avail for around $14, need to update firmware to reset the new progressive ink setup
Great Thorough Video man !! but curious as to a update on your Holley Sniper Install – have you had any issues with it watsover…btw Love Your Truck., n' in addition,.your choice of wheels and those big wide whites really set it off awesomely!!
wonder how long it took before that fuel sock collapsed
Nice job but the fuel pump should be mount lowest and close to the fuel tank
Now all you need is a nice cam swap
This seems like a cool idea for a conversion from carb to EFI, however in my case for my car( 1981 Malibu 350) I recently installed a dash from Dakota Digital and their package includes: temperature sensor, digital VSS, oil pressure sensor and tach hookup into their ECU. If i was to purchase the Sniper, would I have to use their equipment? Could you help out in letting me know the compatibility between the ECU for the Sniper Carb and Dakota digital ECU?
