1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration
I've been considering adding TBI fuel injection for better driveability and was leaning towards the Holley Sniper after doing some research. However, I wasn't sure how it would fit on a 340. As luck would have it, a local machinist mentioned he had recently purchased one but had not installed it yet!!! I got it to do some checks.
The stock air cleaner base fits with lots of clearance
The throttle linkage always seems to be a problem when interfacing with a Mopar. The position of the throttle stud is critical to both the throttle and tranny linkage. After doing a bunch of measurements, it is clear that the linkage arm will need modification. (I could not find a Mopar adapter for the Sniper) The existing hole in the throttle bracket (see arrow in photo) is not far enough from the shaft CL and thus does not have enough throw from closed to WOT. Probably will need a homemade bracket.
