CHEAP TIMING CONTROL - Holley Sniper EFI - 1965 MUSTANG - HyperSpark Alternative

- IN THIS VIDEO: I set up an OEM magnetic pickup distributor to provide rpm and timing control using a Holley Sniper ECU. We do this by locking out the mechanical advance, and phasing the pickup on the cheap!
The whole goal is to have full timing control, and be able to dial in a better ignition map on this car. Holley has built in support for magnetic pickup distributors, and provides instructions to setup one of their MSD distributors for this purpose.
By unpacking how things work and making a couple of minor modifications, we were able to use an off-the shelf OEM style distributor, for hundreds of dollars less than what an MSD distributor would cost.
This is a budget alternative to Holley's MSD and HyperSpark systems. While these are great systems, I love using OEM style parts on a build, and saving money is always a plus!
The distributor we used is this NEW Cardone replacement: 842831 with a steel distributor gear. we picked it up for about $65 on Amazon.
If you are running a flat tappet cam or a cast iron cam you would need to run a cast iron gear.
Thanks for watching! Drop a comment if I can answer any questions, or if you have any suggestions about what I can do better!
The car in this video is @pistonpeeps 's 1965 Mustang. The car has a 347 stroker and a beefed up T5. while the car has been running well, we felt that the non-adjustable distributor was leaving a lot of drivability and a little top end on the table.

Great video. Thanks!
So stoked on this Lang! so happy to have your help on this car! can’t wait to tune with you!
Right at 5:56 where you were able to turn the shaft and rotor is a clue that the distributor has mechanical advance. Nice video overall.
That definitely should have been a clue. The truth is I have a lot more familiarity with EFI than with mechanical and analog ignition.
Definitely always learning!
awesome vid!! i love this kind of stuff
so does this bypass the need for the holley CD Ignition Box???
You still need the Sniper Coil driver, or a traditional ignition box.
The ECU can’t drive the coil itself.
But this eliminates the need to buy the hyperspark distributor or hyperspark CD box
Pretty interesting stuff. Thanks for the video Lang!
@@Heatshieldproducts thanks for watching!
In the next one, Parker shows us nail painting!
that parker guy is hot…
hyperspark is crap i am on my 4th one in 14 months
@@frostycools1315 weird. I’ve seen bad luck with the dual syncs. But I thought the hypersparks were decent.
Are you using the one with a CD box or the ‘ready to run’ distributor?
@@LugNutLang CD box , what happens is the pick up under the rotor comes lose the only thing holding it in is the plastic wire plug as it enters the underside of the distributor , when it come lose it grinds against cup under the rotor and spark goes crazy , im in Canada and so far holley has replaced them and at $1000 Canadian I'm glad they know they have a problem , my plan now is to scarp the sniper 1 its been junk after the first 100 or so miles gona try sniper 2 and cross my fingers
@@frostycools1315 check out theCraig909.
We just put a sniper 2 on his crew cab truck. I like it a LOT more than sniper 1.
Maybe you could JB weld the pickup in place to keep it from working loose? Seems pretty crappy.
