Holley Sniper EFI + Aeromotive Sending Unit Fuel Question
Hi - I have a 1982 Trans Am that I am converting over to the Holley Sniper EFI 4BBL setup. In doing that, I'll need (and prefer) and in tank fuel pump, so I am looking at Aeromotive's all in one fuel pump/sending unit combo here:
Aeromotive Fuel Sending Unit
This unit only has ports for fuel supply, fuel return and vent. My factory sending unit has those 3, plus a line for the vapor canister.
My question is this - Should/can that vent port go to the vapor canister, or should I have it go to the vent located in the rear of the car near the tank?
1. Vent port to rear vent near gas tank, eliminate vapor canister
2. Vent port to vapor canister, vented gas cap?
3. Another option?

I modified a stock sending unit and added a 255lph walboro pump

Re: Holley Sniper EFI + Aeromotive Sending Unit Fuel Question
Thanks, I did consider that. I actually have a Holley 340 LPH in tank pump and a brand new sending unit for a FI Trans Am. The wiring on the pump is much beefer that the wiring on the sending unit. Assuming you ran all new, heavier gauge wiring? Did you change out the plug/fitting I've circled below to something different?

Re: Holley Sniper EFI + Aeromotive Sending Unit Fuel Question
The Vent port can be used for multiple Vent or Purge locations.
Many people eliminate the original Canister and Vent/ Purge System...
For a Vented Fuel-Tank Filler-Cap (gas-cap).

Re: Holley Sniper EFI + Aeromotive Sending Unit Fuel Question
Normally the Canister would be used with the Vent Valve, just like 4th-Gen F-Bodies had from the Factory.
The 4th-Gen Fuel Tank, has the Can and Vent Valve on top of the Fuel Tank.
Aftermarket EFI systems, like Holley EFI do not use any Emissions Equipment...
So if you needed to Pass State or Federal Emissions, you would have to add the Can and Vent Valve to be controlled by a Factory PCM with Holley EFI "Piggy-Backed".
If Emissions Equipment is not needed... HP Tuners can Edit Factory PCM Software to operate without the Emissions Equipment.
Or Aftermarket/ Holley EFI can be used.
