EFI is the way to go! Carbs can be tuned very well, but after sitting for extended periods they get varnished up which throws them out of tune and they have to be cleaned and retuned....gotta keep them in tune. With EFI just start it and go enjoy driving it! Let all these self proclaimed carb tuning experts work on their rides while you are out driving yours! EFI is worth it! FWIW I am a pretty damn good carb tuner, better than most, Holleys and Quadrajets...... You reach an age where you just want to drive and quit working on shit all the time! 👍

[@John-ze4qy]

Beautiful car!! LOve the old school look and no LS swap!

[@carltonfortune6846]

I agree. If I had this car I wouldn’t LS swap it. But what’s wrong with the LS swap? Lol I swapped my trans am. I also have the Holley Sniper Efi for it.

[@hawkdsl]

LS SWAP THE WORLD!

[@BlackandWhitecustoms]

@@hawkdsl exactly. Why wouldn't you want your car to be better in every category?

[@hawkdsl]

@Anthony Murphy I still love gen 3.

[@toon_on_24s]

I’m one of the carburetor guys 🎉🎉🎉 no Ls swap for me

[@Gornflyin]

Man, your car is sick! Great sleeper build.

[@AlPistol]

Great looking ride man! Good video, there are a lot of mixed opinions out there in these sniper systems. Everything has its good and bad, but sounds like you have it figured out. I’ve thought about getting EFI on my 427BBC in my 67 Chevelle, but have the carb dialed in pretty good so haven’t pulled the trigger yet haha.

[@rodeleon2875]

you're not expecting too much. for the price it should be pretty much flawless out of the box. the injector problem should be addressed by holley and a fix sent to buyers. same with the bracket. those are both safety issues. i would send holley an email or phone call and see what they can do. shouldn't cost any money either. you paid already. this is not anything that any other manufacturer doesn't do for their high end products.

[@chevelleranch7481]

Great car and great review. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

[@ArdFarkable]

Car is insane, so cool. Love the style, don't change a thing. you must have spent a fortune on all those upgrades! So worth it

[@heartbreakandmotorjive1867]

What a looker! She's clean inside and out. Thanks for posting this review. I've been thinking about converting my car to fuel injection and it's nice to hear it from a normal honest guy who's not sponsored.

[@pinkysgarage4517]

Really good and honest review. Such a pretty car. I had a 70 but it was in rough shape. Thanks for a great video!

[@ZeGermanHam]

Excellent video with lots of good info. The Monte looks and sounds amazing, too!

[@qmopar]

I appreciate the straight forward honest and informative evaluation. Eventually I’d like to go EFI and Sniper is pretty much at the top of the list. Your review echos what I’ve heard about the system and your review is super helpful. I’m a Mopar guy but your Monte is sweet!

[@207shenanigans]

Mopar or any other car

[@mikeroberts5646]

As A huge Mopar Fan,I say nice ride brother As a 60 year old in Mechanic field over 45 years you know more about this Technology than I do, proud of you for that If you see a smiling white dude in a 72 Challenger Orange 340 6pak,give me a wave in the west Suburbs

[@charlesgreaves3293]

First, a very tasteful car. The layers of details are so well thought out and in no way detract from the cars beauty. What a nice tribute to your Dad too! All your work is executed in a clean way and make the car more drive-able and enjoyable. What a great and honest review from the perspective of a real, down to earth, owner. I have an old Ford PU, and have been on the fence about the Edlebrock and the Sniper. Your video gave a long term view of real life with an aftermarket injection system. Thank you. And yeah, no small amount of lust in my heart for your car Sir. Well done. (Dig the wheels and Stance)

[@haljohnson5729]

Nice ride and terrific review.Thanks for taking the time.

[@dahliaron]

Thanx for the info. Been thinking about the snipper and your honest thoughts were great. Have a good one

[@supersportimpalass]

Thank you for the long term review which are few and far between compared to the install videos. Beautiful car and I love the Digital gauges. ❤

[@shotgunrebels]

Killer car! Thanks for video was interested in one of these and you answered all my questions.

[@billmoran3219]

Very useful review, thank for sharing. Cool car too always loved those early 70’s Montes

[@georgeadkins2089]

Nice video! Way to represent old school from the Chi. I’ve had my Sniper over a year and didn’t realize I can adjust the throttle temp. Well done 👍🏽

[@shedred1967]

The paint, the ride, and the man, all real. Thanks for the info.

[@ThomasThomas-wn3km]

Beautiful car brother. So glad you stayed with the old school small block. I have been thinking of trying the Holley Sniper kit so your video hit the spot.

[@jaynewcomer5741]

That was a great review. I've been thinking hard about the sniper and this video has help me alot thanks❤

[@cgray1721]

Thank you for the video. Love the Monty. I really like the fact that you haven't cut up the dash for the new radio. The mods are very tastefully done.

[@JFRSTR10]

That car is so clean! Thanks for sharing!

[@derrickjustice8891]

I have a 1972 convertible Mustang that belonged to my dad. I care for it the way you care for your dad’s car. Great job and nice touches on your MC.

[@Slamstrike]

Love your updated cluster!

[@johnnyturbo8460]

Stunning car! Thanks for posting this video

[@MyName-tj4zj]

Right to the point. Well articulated. Nice car in every way. God bless!

[@calealbertson5339]

Great video man, keep doing stuff like this.

[@jeronronnunkoffunk4691]

Appreciate the concise and informative, honest video, beautiful car by the way one of my favorite chevys, but it is good to know because I’ve kicked around idea of utilizing EFI conversion for an old engine classic car or truck! Much props to you bro and I’ll keep you posted , I also love the Dakota digital gauges. Thinking of either of doing an old small block ford pickup and or 1978 Chevy caprice and doing the same things you’ve done! Keep up good work!

[@scottmccoy4129]

Great video man! I bought a Sniper system and plan to install it soon- your insight was very helpful!!

[@smoke869]

I love the car and the motor work is very clean under the hood and I like how you kept the original radio with the up grade under it all of your install is very clean

[@michaelparadisis4076]

Nice car bro. Thanks for the taking the time here.

[@markstangsn9518]

Glad you still have it look old school nice car.

[@jasonrose6562]

Solid, real-world knowledge. Thanks for sharing!

[@yetiwagon]

great license plate, thanks for the education! love the MC, peace from Brooklyn

[@djdimart]

Nice looking car, tastefully done. Appreciate the honest review since I am installing a Sniper system right now

[@plymouthhemi426]

Beautiful car, I wouldn't change a thing. Nice gauges and suspension, too. I'm looking at QA1, Hotchkiss or Caltracs for my car. Decisions, decisions!

[@Autophysn]

Thank you for sharing! I am planning on going with that on my El Camino

[@brianmarek7953]

Very nice video and really like your Monte{Classy and Clean} Your my sons age and i can really appreciate what you did,.Nice Job! I just turned 65 and have the same wheels on my 68 Big Block Vette I bought back in 1978.I run a 850 on a 427 and NOW plan on a Holley Sniper for it,Thanks Again.

[@bergsnizzin187]

Love your style. Car is done just right. Very nice!

[@danjamison1327]

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Sounds and looks beautiful.

[@jaydegrenade]

Stunning Monte Carlo! I went with a Sniper on my 1969 Camaro. Thanks for the review.

[@danhedrick1795]

Beautiful car. Great video helps a lot !

[@robertclymer6948]

Very nice Monte brother! Last year of the good body styles imo. Thanks for the going over the screen icons with us. Very nice unit. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Motown.

[@mikedionne8187]

Great vid and beautiful car. Thank you

[@martysheets6882]

Nice Ride Brother, Thanks for the show and tell. I've got a 64 Cutlass that I want one for it.

[@revrocks3]

Dude, that’s one of the best lookin Montes I’ve seen!

[@cleckleymotorworks]

Beautiful MC . Nice upgrades

[@Johndeeresnowmobiles]

Absolutely love the car!!! Just a straight up beautiful ride!! Thanks for the video breakdown on this Holley snipers system!!

[@kaelpounds1714]

The 71 Monte Carlo is my dream car I love everything you did to it

[@johnbarker5009]

Nice Monte! Sounds good, too. So cool that it was your Dad's car. Thanks for giving your feedback on the Holley Sniper system.

[@chrismurray3390]

Great vid. I just got done installing one on my sons 87 Foxbody. So far no complaints, car runs great and we are 2 months in with it.

[@trentdawg2832]

Hows it holding up?? How many 02 sensors have you had to replace

[@chrismurray3390]

Same O2 that came with kit. Car has been about 1500 miles and done 3 track days. We are still playing around with tuning. No complaints thus far.

[@brianMcGranahan0311]

I appreciate your video. Thanks for the help with the efi you definitely answered some questions. Oh and GAWD DAYUM!nice Monte Carlo!!!!

[@nhlba3301]

Thanks for your honest review bro!!🔥🔥 Setup on ur car!

[@dennispettysr3105]

awsome video and a beautiful car

[@josebecerra6131]

Nice ride bro.. thanks for the video.. still deciding on switching to EFI on my 68 cougar.

[@Olds64]

Beautiful machine! Thanks for sharing.

[@swatson0061]

Awesome car man. Thanks for the review

[@tkmad7470]

Nice! I drove a '70 Monte Carlo while going to high school in the 80s and I really miss it!

[@douglasdailey5998]

Very nice car. Thanks for the video. I have been thinking about doing this to my truck.

[@richdouche8253]

I love a carb that is perfectly tuned. Problem is when the weather or elevation changes, they never run perfect. I think that's the chief benefit to EFI. Especially because I live in TX and we can have 50° temp and 50% humidity changes within the same day. Nice car! Glad your pops kept it in great shape.

[@edcucchiarella7994]

I am also a carb guy but having too much trouble with CA ethanal gas after a few days the float bowl is empty and smelly garage when the gas is evaporating

[@buddyrojek9417]

Wait to you get to Melbourne Australia, we have 4 changes I. A day.

[@57juniors]

Bad ass car and great input on the Holley system 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@steelcitycaprice.899]

👍🏾🔥🔥🔥Great generation of Monty's and the review was really good. 🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@B7-G2]

Beautiful car. Love the color and instrument panel.

[@MVPisME383]

My favorite cars, great video nobody ever shows this stuff

[@kentweaver1783]

Beautiful car! Thanks for the explanation that helps with my decision.

[@428Mario]

Great video, very honest pros and cons

[@nightfallgrayrs1601]

Great video!

[@dennisalstonZ06]

Love the video great information was thinking about doing this to my 71 grand prix

[@randyboyle8379]

Very tastefully done. Great looking car! Sounds good too!

[@dionisio9697]

She’s super clean. Absolutely beautiful

[@DanBurt1968]

Thanks for the video! Getting parts together to put a 383 in my '63 Nova and considering the Holley Sniper system. Was a bit intimidated but after watching your video it looks to be user friendly.

[@trentdawg2832]

A little 4.8 LS with a nice cam would be MORE than enough for that particular car…….id save the 383 for a truck or a much heavier car……..a cammed 4.8 will easily run out to 7500rpm and close to 400hp will have that baby impala rollin out!!!

[@ryantate4447]

Very nice and clean car, thanks for the info

[@jasonfield9231]

I have 2 72 BBC a C20 and a chevelle. I love your Monte. I have qa1 on the chevelle. Quality stuff. Man some kits do a good job with having everything and sometimes it’s exhausting trying to fix a “ small” problem. Don’t lose that OCD because that is what you need in Hot Rodding. We are a different breed. Great video. Stay safe and if you ever want a good home for her let me know. Peace

[@seanwanlass2501]

Great video my man! Thank you ! 👊

[@cfmechanic]

Nice car bro. I been running sniper since 2018. Changed fuel pump, cts, iac, tps, and lots of 02sensors. Trick to keeping 02 alive is to move further down stream. I'm with you on the update. Have not and won't do it unless I absolutely have to. There is a guy on holley forum who makes clips for the injectors he 3d prints them

[@tonymunn]

I love the video. I love the car. It is upgraded tastefully. I also like the Holley Sniper review. Thank you.

[@62andru]

I love how your car looks.

[@sirswerve2493]

Cool video man. Cant wait to join the club. I would agree with you on cold start.

[@rickj.2638]

Nice car a classic. Take care of her like you been doing. Nice video 👍

[@jimmyrobertson3793]

Great video and great car!

[@jw4620]

Good video! Thanks!

[@MrRoverman01]

Beautiful car. Clean without being flashy. Nicely done. As far as the whistle sound, I understand how annoying it is. I installed a BBK throttle body on my 1994 F150, and it makes a very loud whistling sound when it is first started up. I need to pull it and smooth out the IAC ports.

[@nonsequitur807]

Nice. Dig the subtle upgrades ✊🏾

[@qtrmirob]

sweet car! Converting mine this winter.

[@richschaffling2367]

Great video thanks for being real

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

Fuuuuuugggg that sounds so good. Gorgeous machine man.

[@codysp]

Beautiful Monte!! I've had a 79, 84 and currently have a 76. 70-72 has always been on my list. 🙂

[@trentdawg2832]

I like the ‘73s but ‘70-‘72 definitley come first……’73 has the cool swivel bucket seats and yeah they are kinda ugly but the ugliness tends to grow onto you

[@George-on3zm]

Great video! Nice car. I’m thinking of going with the same package EFI soon. After my new suspension gets done over the next month.

[@GroundhogzGarage]

Sweet ride!

[@7DeuceCutty212]

Such a nice Ride love it!!💪🏽💪🏽🔥💯

[@kurtbarrett6785]

Man, you have yourself one beautiful MC! The coolest part, is that you've done some pretty big upgrades, that surely make the driving experience significantly better, without going crazy and hackin it up. I love the fact that at a glanceshe looks very much stock as a rock, inside and out, except for the tasteful and very fitting polished Americans with the Cooper Cobras (dang it, I could totally hear Derek from VGG saying the name as I was writing it!) While on the subject I have to say, out of the few choices we're left with these days, when it comes to regular production type radial tires to fit the smaller rim sizes, I've been blown away by the Coopers ... Wet or dry, traction wise, they absolutely smoke the old go-to BFGs!

[@ParisTheMotorhead]

Thank you! I find myself saying VGG quotes everytime I'm doing something to the car 😂 I'm extremely satisfied with the coopers and they were at a better price point than the BFG's

[@donaldwilliams2270]

Great vid thanks , I will consider buying a snipper system for my 78 460 and BTY SLICK MONTY

[@dukeblue9999]

Very nice. Love the ride

[@maldo72]

Nice car and review of the holley system

[@acruisertoo1]

Clean Ride. Well Done!

[@christopherawoznicki2046]

Man that car is beautiful!

[@fishboat6244]

Thanks. Nice car !
