I Saved This Classic Mopar With Parts You Couldn’t Buy, Until Now!

[@rexkean]

Sniper 2! Just 4 wires! That's impressive, I've avoided things like this, because every KZbinr seems to hook 4 million miles of wires up, and that just didn't seem practical. Thanks Jared, for showing the slimmed down, common sense, easy DIY wiring!

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

You can totally add a ton more to it, and I’ve done those projects before, but this is to make it clear it’s a lot easier to get efi than you might have thought!

[@bigjbandit]

Love this car. We had an old '74 New Yorker. Former cop car in upstate New York. It still had some shotgun shells under the seat when we got it and the inside of the quarter panels had some lead lining for traction. It was a beast. By the way, it's Bernoulli's Principle that makes a venturi work. Love you man. Watching you work on cars gives me a better attitude when I work on my own! You rock!

[@violinmiata]

Jeremy Clarkson once said “dogs, love acceleration“. I’m so happy Holly sent a new unit to make the car ride better for the dogs!

[@surferdude4487]

The Sniper II is a pretty amazing product. The sound of that 440 with the cam and EFI has no substitutes.

[@Rev.Match.Reviews]

This is a note for editor Dwayne- @ 26:20 the 3 barks lining up with the beats of the royalty free music was killer! Simple stuff like that is what makes me happy 😂

[@Jim_M_75]

I'm a Haltech fanboy if I'm honest, great products and aftersales but it's great to see you get a product before release to fit to the old girl. You do have to love just how simple the Holley is to fit and get running on old, large capacity American muscle.

[@joshrepik]

Haltech isn’t as easily user friendly…. But there’s a reason for that 😈

[@billyduffany3387]

Love that car. I am glad you didn't take it apart but I understand why you were going to. Back when I was a kid a 4 door was basically a parts car. Now that they are getting harder to find and are cheaper than a 2 door. They make a good first classic car for someone and you got to admit it is a nice-looking car.

[@vehicles_n_stuff]

Love that car! Glad to see it’s getting saved

[@moelongside9612]

I am with you on that, beatifull car that deserves it! Would love to see it as a full build/restored ralley car for Dustballs o.e..^^

[@aartsst3227]

Nice to see the @Smartereveryday shout out! - Destin has an amazing channel covering a huuuge range of topics - any guy that can build a supersonic baseball cannon is alright in my book! Glad to see the ol NY'kr sticking around - and the Sniper II looks like a really cool new product - only 4 wires eh? . 👍

[@MikeBaxterABC]

17:04 Agree!!! :) I however often (neatly tight;y) twist, SOLDER , and double shrink wrap, connectors can be such a hassle, and solder shrink wrap has never failed me :)

[@MikeBaxterABC]

16:00 Now the cupro nickel fuel lines I REALLY love, I keep a coi of each size as they can be used for, all fuels, transmission cooling, A'C lines, and even brake lines (make sure t buy break rated) .. And if you keep them from rubbing against steel? they basically last forever. AND they flare, and double flare easily ... (so much nicer than steel or stainless lines!!!)

[@KingKeson]

I’m a little late to the party but the New Yorker is a sweet old mopar and deserves to be given a new lease on life! Keep up the amazing work and keep sharing that knowledge Jared!

[@rod1506]

I am sooo happy to see that you saved the New Yorker!! I was wondering what happened to it after the dust bowl rally, it looked like a great cruiser!!

[@dan725]

woooo I immediately thought of that most excellent smartereveryday video about how carbs work. He was able to capture phenomenal high-speed camera footage of the fuel droplets being sucked in via Venturi effect. Anyone who is everyone should watch that video.

[@walterhubicki5207]

That is one of the best installs I've seen of a sniper EFI. Thank you for the informative video and for saving this car. That thing sounds like it rocks and the dogs liked it too. So wish I could afford something like that. I would love an old Mopar V8 cruiser. Congratulations on having a good "first" drive!

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

Glad you liked it!

[@whatsoutthere6822]

I had a 67 Newport years ago. I got it with the engine top apart. I put it back together, ran it for about 4 months, then it caught fire. Electrical issues.

[@JCWren]

I've got the Sniper 1 on my '70 C10 with the 250 inline 6, and it's been really good. Unfortunately, the Sniper 1 has a less than stellar reputation, but it's mostly caused by poor installations, primarily caused by poor wiring and exhaust leaks. You CANNOT have an exhaust leak before the O2 sensor or 18" after it, or it'll run richer than Bill Gates, and usually end up damaging the O2 sensor. There are some quality control issues around the injector harness, and a lot of people zip tie the connector to the injector. Other people seems to have throttle position sensor issues. Most of the RFI issues revolve around having the coil too close to the Sniper. Because of packing the electronics into such a small space, there are compromises in the filtering and noise rejection. Mine has been really solid, but the wiring is done per the book, and the coil is a good ways away from the Sniper. I might put a Sniper 2 on the 360 that's in my '67 Barracuda. Assu,ing I ever get the freakin' shift linkage issues straightened out from the hack conversion done by the previous owner.

[@brandaneakright6082]

Glad you’re saving that newyorker, it’s way too nice of a car to strip apart. They’re awesome cruisers,and very easy to make run really good.

[@donaldparlett7708]

I’m not a Mopar guy but I’m so glad you saved this old classic.

[@TheKiltedYaksman1]

Great work, as always. The only thing I'd change is dumping that teeny little air cleaner. The Engine Masters guys showed that those cost power. The tallest 14" or 15" filter that will fit under the hood is the way to go.

The Holley carb you are holding up is not a double pumper. It has no accelerator pump on the secondaries. A double pumper Holley has mechanical secondaries, not vacuum operated secondaries. No accelerator pump is needed with vacuum secondaries.

[@fullyotto31]

Laying in the gas is a good way to cool off. I feel you on the heat. I pit projects off during winter, waiting on it to warm up a bit now I waiting on it to cool off to get projects done. I've got to insulate my ceiling, then maybe a mini split.

Can we do a fundraiser to get airconditioning in the shed that is quiet enough for filming? I can feel the pain just watching the sweat drip off Jared while he explains the carbs lol

[@chrissimes9445]

COST: Jared probably couldn't say, and I dang sure wanted to know! Holley list price is $1300 for basic kit here.

[@chrissimes9445]

Plus $400-550 for the fuel pump setup.

At 102° Freedom-units your brain must have been on simmer. I could see sweat dripping off your elbows while you were talking about the carbs and the efi at the table.

[@michaelbaudouin9980]

I’d give my left nut to have that car. Sadly up here in Canada cost of living makes this car guy relegated to dreaming and watching KZbin videos. I have too many kids and costs. Always said “one day” and at 45 I’m running lower on time for something even remotely cool. Modernize the suspension and brakes. New valve covers and E fans. Then yellow out the inner headlights and this thing would be superb. Alas. I’m in Canada. Jarred wouldn’t even consider me. Love the channel. Been following you since day one back in the “T” days in Florida. Hope you succeed in all that you do. Peace.

It has fuel injectors inside the throttle body, so it is throttle body fuel injection!

To be fair that's a lot less gas than i've spilled all over the garage floor, dumped like 3 gallons of e85 in my dad's shop once 😂

[@JVHShack]

I just looked at Holley's website and there's *NO* support for the Ford Pinto/Lima/Courier/Ranger/Mustang/Mustang II 2.3L. Sometimes, I don't want to hear the droning noise of a V8 and use less fuel to simply cruise around. I have a project that I intend to use that type of engine in. I have a regular street version in a 1981 Ford Courier and I also have the OMC Cobra II boat version in a 1984 Mazda B2000. Neither of the intake manifolds will accept the 2300 bolt pattern. Also, vertical space is very limited in these little trucks, making the use of an adapter/spacer difficult at best. The boat intake manifold will directly accept a GM Rochester DualJet (2BBL) for a 1971 C10 with a 350. I hope Holley can/will cater to those who have a similar situation/project.

[@brian_sipe]

When I get around to doing some upgrades, I'll probably get a carb cheater instead, but I'm certain the fuel injection is amazing. 👍

[@greggsvintageworkshop8974]

Wow, what a great and simple way to make an old classic run great! I bet the fuel mileage is better as well! I'm retired now and there likely won't be any more classic cars in my garage, but if there was, the carb would be off and one of these on as the first improvement I would make!

[@3rdworldgarage450]

The Holley seems to be an 1850, which is not a double pumper. Its a vacuum secondary with a metering block up front and a metering plate in the rear. The Demon appears to be a air valve secondary with the counter weight aystem from a Carter AFB. My preference? The Rochester Quadrajet. The only thing that comes close is an AVS when it comes to drivability. They are hard to set up but when done right they are set and forget, unlike the Holley.

[@Grumpy_Stiltskin]

I knew I couldn't be the only one to notice that. Uncle Tony would have a heyday on this video. Nothing wrong with a carbie if you enlighten yourself about them. Modern fuel being a real problem with its low boiling point and ethanol content.

[@3rdworldgarage450]

@@Grumpy_Stiltskin The other cool thing about a carb is that it is mechanical, not electronic. That means that when parts become obsolete they can still be fabricated for little cash versus a niche efi system that is produced in small numbers that the manufacturer can remove support for at a whim. For an example of this, see the Ferrari 308 in the background.

[@jordancapps9521]

To help out our fellur Professor Jared: Much of why production fuel injection makes so much more power than carbs ever could is due to ancillary computer controlled devices and on-the-fly tune adjustments built into the computer. VVTi, variable lift valves, computer optimized timing, computer monitored burn quality(and on the fly adjustments), instant compensation for ambient air pressure and humidity, ability to optimize engine and transmission performance to create optimal mesh, and we cannot forget Nissan's new variable stroke(compression) system. Without all of the extras, fuel injection can be outperformed by a carb.

[@jessebrook1688]

Though, the malaise-era throttle body fuel injection was a better fix for emissions than the vacuum-fed variable-venturi carbs, and they did manage to match the power of carbs of the day. The end of carburetion was messy.

Jared, I believe that you mis spoke about the carburetor, I'm pretty sure that vacuum secondaries are not considered mechanical secondaries or double pumpers

[@garyfoster4555]

I dont know if anyone as informed you but the first Holley carb is a single pump with vacuum secondaries. No vacuum secondary carb has a second mechanical pump, only mechanical secondaries do. Also the secondary throttle plates do not open mechanically by the throttle pedal, they are opened by the vacuum releasing a lock out and throttle controlled spring tension. Still that said it was a good video. Question though are these units fully tunable? Also does the system hold 60 psi upon powering the ignition key or only when cranking or running?
