Will The Holly Sniper Fuel Injection Fit?

This looks like a similar bolt pattern but not sure and it's a big investment to find out.

It's for a Carter BBD and not the WGD which is on the car currently. This would be a great upgrade if it would fit.

If you're not having fun, maybe it's your own damned fault.

Would be quite involved. Needs 12V and O2 sensor installed.
Nothing wrong with a WGD if it's been properly rebuilt and linkage is all there.

Thanks for the link, seems the bolt pattern should be the same and wouldn't need the adapter.

Yeah would think it would be more reliable to drive around, rebuilt the fuel pump and carburetor and it didn't seem to last very long.

The 6v to 12v conversion doesn't seem to be all that difficult. That opens up some possibilities.

This is obviously just my own opinion but I am not sure why people think that converting to 12v, adding electric fuel pumps, putting in disc brakes and an entire myriad of other things are improvements or upgrades! These cars were dependable for 60+ years as they were deigned and engineered so the best improvements are to properly rebuild what’s there.

That said, some things are fun to contemplate such as valve body injection but are they improvements? I don’t think so especially as they make the car into something other than a Packard.

if they weren't upgrades and improvements, the entire automotive industry would still be building them like back then...but they don't...because they are improvements.

dependable...yes....reliable...mostly...simple...very.

not to say "properly" rebuilt and maintained isn't going to get you several years of service.....but the things you list are def improvements.

for the life of me i can't figure out why nascar and F1 doesn't use drum brakes and 6volt and mechanical fuel pumps.....all kinds of different perspectives here.

def not harping....there is a big appreciation for an all original car in my eyes....but my 37 has seen a MASSIVE improvement since i rewired....have an alternator....12v....EFI....led bulbs....etc etc. but hey...i'm still running points ignition...so I def agree with you and disagree at the same time. Would i try an ignition system that would be controlled by my new EFI unit...yup...but i like the points too.

I wonder if anyone said seatbelts and airbags were not improvements too. They probably did....but they are.

to your point...yeah its not what Packard built it as....but just as there is a place in Pebble Beach for an all original....there is a place for my car as well in this world. and i can see your point cause i hate it when i see a Packard with a Chevy v8....

You think this is an interesting discussion, just wait until someone posts here about doing an electric conversion. Can't wait.
