Carb Backfiring
Hi All,
A friend of mine who has a 83 z-28 305 motor just told me that his carb is backfiring.He mentioned that his first carb failed,and he replaced it with a Edelbrock 650.I told him its sounds like his tiiming is off.Any other ideas to through at him?

Re: Carb Backfiring
Timeing and a lean mixture are 2 common causes for back fireing in the intake. Ide like you suggested check the timing then look for vacuum leaks. Any particular time the back fire occures?
