Im still using HEI. The timing control is not hooked up. It needs a different style dizzy for that

I was referring to a locked out HEI so you can use it with the timing control feature. I think we talked about that....otherwise an HEI distributor works fine as a standalone without any Sniper/FiTech control.
A little. I should probably tune it before I give up but I hate the fact I can't get it to idle correctly
Not sure about the sniper setup but the FITech requires a msd pro billet or the like to use timing control. I can't use timing control with either of the hei dizzy I have
The small cap HEI like a TBI unit will work with those
There’s debate on the Large cap working with it. But then theres the magnetic vs hall effect pick up debate
is that for fitech ? as i recall the gm small cap is not holley sniper approved for full control .
it's been 6 months or so since I dealt with it but according to FITech hei wouldn't work with the timing control iirc. I had a small cap hei with the separate coil and now have Davis unified ignition distributor
yeah I think that's what we spoke about
Of course not, they want to sell you their Holley distributor.
well i am doing msd 8360 ready to run small cap and leaving as is . no ecu input for this at this point .

i was fearful too, mainly of the fuel pump setup.......until recently; Really, it's simple. Run a line from the tank outlet to the pump and then a line from the pump(and filters) to the throttle body(or fuel rails). If it's tbi, then it's relatively low pressure and you can use high-quality rubber line. (?) Don't need to use metal (although that's probably better). And make sure the pump is close to the tank and at or below mid-level of the tank. Below tank level is better. i think the master kit is a good idea, but i would still want to change the in-tank sock filter though.
Now, to address the in-tank vs. exterior fuel pump thing:

But who makes a decent tbi tank?
Don't trust Spectra. Now, holley does make a few. But do they make one for suburbans and other models? What to do then?
Now, i think this drop-in module from holley is a very good thing. The only issue is i would think you would need to get your tank steam-cleaned by someone who knows what they're doing or risk blowing yourself to the moon when you drill the hole for the module?

i would rather trust a factory, non-tbi tank, even if 30+years old vs. a flash-in-the pan unit like Spectra etc.

Don't run low pressure for anything, it will blow ,braided hose or run metal line

Haven't looked in to this? I bet it's the bee's knees? Don't know the $cost$ either. Anyone? We want, information
Don’t over complicate things, the TBI tank with a 381 has proven to work fine for 95% of us.
and for the love of all truck parts stop bashing the spectra tanks .
atleast someone is making a decent tank that holds up and fits good . i have seen and used a few cheeper units and boy are they cheeper for a reason .
untill someone steps up the game and repop's the gm style good luck .
