Help?
K, pickup is a 72 chevy with a 70 GMC 402/th400. When I bought the gmc, it has a little holley 4bbl, something like 400cfm, so I decided to change the carburetor to a quadrajet(came off a beautifully running 350 about a year ago) and know it backfires through the carb and the exhaust. I already checked timing, vacuum, distributor, etc. Has HEI if it matters. It ran FINE til this quadrajet was place on top, so I'm thinking that it needs a kit(the carb has had about 2-300,000 ran through it. It's been rebuilt many times, but has always been a good carb. I'm thinking it just sat too long, and now it needs another rebuild. What do you guys(and gals) think? thanks

Re: Help?
will start and rev fine, put a load on the carb, and it sputters and backfires(wants to die), let off the throttle and "pump" it, it will stay running.
