Hello everyone -
Over the next few years, I'm planning to make the swap from a carb to EFI, most likely using the Holley Sniper system, in my 61 Hawk. While not a deal breaker, one thing I'd love to add is the ability for the ECU to control timing. The easiest way to do this seems to be to use either the Holley Dual Sync or Hyperspark distributors, but there is no Studebaker specific model for these.
Given that, the questions I have are
1. Are there any compatible distributors from some of the more popular (i.e. more widely supported) engines of the era that can be made to work with the Studebaker 289? From all of my searching, I'm guessing the answer on this one is "no", but thought I'd verify. Looks like there are 40+ Hyperspark variants with any number of Chevy, Ford, Buick, AMC, Jeep, Pontiac, Olds, etc.
2. Are there any known EFI solutions that can be made to work with the Studebaker distributors (in my case, a Pertronix) and also control timing?
Very new to all of this and learning as I go, so fill free to correct any misunderstandings I may have or give any helpful info!
Thanks everyone.
