    Sniper EFI

    I have a older engine set up which uses a Rochester 4 jet carburetor, not to be confused with a quadrajet. All 4 venturis are the same size which precludes me from getting a more modern carburetor. I am looking at Holly's Sniper EFI and was wondering if anyone has used one and how well it works...

    Weird ome

    coil

    I picked up a Mallory Ylm distributor for my boat and am getting ready to install it. What should I use for a coil with it? and do I need the ballest resistor with this unit. If I had a complaint it would be the lack of instructions with the unit. Thanks in advance! Paul
