I am assuming this truck has a SBC, not a big block. If using a SBC, I would try replacing the Rochester with an Edelbrock 1406. My research and discussions with many owners has found that the 1406 is easy to initially set up and is rock solid after it is set. The big bonus is that it is about $800 cheaper than a Sniper set-up.

I am not trying to dissuade you from installing the Sniper, just pointing out an alternative. If you go with the Sniper, I would love to follow your progress and how you install it.

Cheers!
