Sniper Controlled Timing!

Update 7/26/21: Some people have contacted me and said they can't get it to work so I'll add some more pics and info below and see if it helps anyone.

Well I figured out how to connect the Sniper to a 22R Distributor! And it made a huge difference! The occasional stalling off a hard throttle has pretty much disappeared and no stumble on take-off as the distributor would switch between Vacuum and Mechanical, And I don't have to keep the distributor re-tarded anymore to avoid pinging under boost, I can just adjust timing in boost now. Also the truck is running cooler from not being so re-tarded. :-)

First I cut the Rotor and rotated it 15deg because nobody sells a adjustable rotor for a 22R so I had to make it myself.

Then Super Glued it and JB Welded it back together

Next I removed the springs for the mechanical advance and locked it down with a piece of metal I came up with.

Then removed the Vacuum Advance assembly and locked it down as well.

I was able to find a rubber cap that closed off the holes left by the vacuum advance assembly

The Blue line represents the Violet & Dark Green wires coming from the Sniper connected to the distributor wires. (Dark Green connects to the White Wire of Dist.)

The long Red line represents the White points wire from the Sniper going to the C.D. Box

Then the usual C.D. Box to Coil connection and then the Coil to Distributor Connection.

I was told to keep the wire as far apart as possible to avoid any interference. That is why I have it routed as shown.

My Cranking ignition timing is set at 6.0 deg

The other timing settings have now been adjusted on the computer and don't show up on the hand held. But I believe I started with factory settings from Holley to get it started the first time.

Hopefully that helps more.
