Sniper power with battery in trunk

[vince72]

Hey Guys,
I searched youtube and was not able to find how to power the sniper system if the battery is in the trunk?
Please help me out.

Run the power cables to the trunk.. yes, that simple

Doesn't really matter where the battery is. The sniper needs a direct positive and negative connection to the battery. So run some wire back to it. Or was there something else you're asking about?

It does sound simple..I purchased the sniper, ignition box, in tank pump with return less line, distributor and harnesses so I make is as idiot proof as possible for me lol
Sounds like I can literally just run wires near the right rocker area from battery to sniper.

Ran mine inside under the door sill plate, and out the rear seat.

battery to a power distribution relay panel, through a dioded relay and fuse, out to sniper. The panel will handle your ignition switched power source.

Thank you for this. This seems like a good idea & I would have access to power other items

Hypothetically having the Sniper's fuel pump ground trigger circuit go through a common switch on it's way to the relay panel and then on to the fuel pump can be used as a hidden in plain sight anti-theft method.

Hypothetically. ;)

Make sure you put the proper size fuse, breaker, or fusible link on the main power wire for the system as close as you can to the battery.

Diagrams I have seen from Holley either shows a fuse in an improper location or none at all.

You may want to add a fuse to the wire off of the key switch unless it is already protected.
