Holley Hyperspark Modifications When Used with an HP ECU

DISCLAIMER: These videos show my way of doing things. Don't necessarily follow my advice, I could be wrong. You are responsible for your actions. Not me.
These are the modifications I found were necessary.
Modifications to a Hyperspark to account for differences from the Sniper to an HP. Rising vs. Falling edge and rotor phasing goodness.

Good catch! I love blazing new trails and the "opportunities to excel" they ofer.

[@drfrankel7]

Based on how that harness was "supported" I'm not surprised Holly's support didn't have a clue about this...

[@MrJoea11]

Wow very good find.

[@MGMan37]

The Hyperspark trigger sensor is an exact clone of the Ford TFI distributor, that should help anybody reading get more info on how to get a working setup with this. Therefore you can really blame Ford for this one :)

I've been dealing with Sniper issues and I can confidently say Holley has no idea what they're doing with EFI. I had the same issue with tech support giving me some horseshit answer to one of my problems. Out of the box, first start, AFR pinned at 15.5, closed loop compensation % steadily climbing to max, AFR never changes, bench test the o2 and can get a full sweep of lean/rich, obviously an internal fault. I explain this to the Holley tech and he says "well you need to get the idle set, its running lean because your idle is off".

Yep that sounds about right. It’s like, you want to tell them “I’m not an idiot”.

[@SleepnGrunt]

@@mechtrician1 Well they assume it because only dumb hicks want to mess around with old American Muscle cars, right. lol

Make sure that you have the proper cap for your application. They make a CCW cap and a CW cap. Also you dont worry about it.. you are using eyeball logic and I also did the same this with my setup when I installed a hyperspark. The sniper EFI makes the proper angle adjustment when you select the type of distributor. I know it doesn't look right but it is. Also, I'd look and you will need the CW adjustment cap.

[@mechtrician1]

I have the right cap. They only make one for the ford 6 cylinder. There is not a CCW for it. And rotor phasing matters. Fact of the matter is that no one runs an HP ECU with a Hyperspark on the 6 using full sequential. Holley finally admitted this was an issue and is correcting it in the next revision.

[@mrknebel475]

I think you might be thinkingnthis backwards. Isnt the reference angle about 45° advance and the holley takes the timing out?

[@mechtrician1]

It’s actually 57° and it takes timing out. But that’s not what I am referring to. I’m talking about rising vs. falling edge triggering. Sniper and HP are opposite.
