Carburetor, MSD, Holley Sniper EFI questions
I have been trying to quietly learn about carbs, MSD and EFI by reading a lot of old post along with articles written online. I find that I am still left with questions. I still have a carburetor on the car, but I am putting together the parts for an EFI setup. The fuel system is on the way, but I haven't ordered the Holley Sniper yet. The fuel system portion of EFI looks simple enough, but the actual wiring of the 7 pin and 10 pin connectors is throwing me. When I get all the pieces in, I wouldn't be installing this until October or November anyway, unless I find myself with some extra days off. I want to sure I can get the job done in a day.
1. Is MSD 6a just a better form of electronic ignition?
2. Is it better to run MSd 6a along with an EFI setup (leaning towards Holley Sniper)?
3. Is there any benefit to running an electric fuel pump with a return to a carburetor?
4. On the Holley Sniper ECU wiring diagram do the 7 pin and 10 pin go back to the cluster of wires on the firewall?
5. Once installed can all of the old oem chrysler ignition stuff just be removed and trashed?
I'm just a guy with a garage and some tools. I have no formal mechanical training. So please dumb these answers down. I have never owned a car with a carburetor till now. The most I ever had to do with EFI was fumble with fuel rails and replace injectors. This will be a new experience for me. Thanks in advance.
