Re: new truck!
If its backfiring thru the Carb. , very possibly is a bad power valve > pretty easy to replace . If its backfiring thru the exhaust could be a number of things . 1st thing Iwould do would be to replace plugs-wires -rotor cap on distributer -set timing correctly . Maybe some of the others could chime in here as well . Welcome from Va. > Ilike your truck > good luck

Re: new truck!
well im pretty sure it bickfiring throught the carb, and only at WOT when i stomp on it hard. and as to the leafs, thanks i might take u up on those, but the guy at the shop said i could take everyother leaf in my 3/4 ton pack out and itll make em a 1/2 ton leaf. also im goingto lower it just a little i dont know what type of drop but i want a very agressive muscle stance not a lowrider stance. so the front will be lowered more then the rear. please tell me more about the power valve?

Re: new truck!
Hey welcome to the best boards around from MT! Sweet looking truck as well
 The only time I remember having backfiring through my carb was timing was off somewhat.

Re: new truck!
Welcome I just joined a few days myself, As for the backfiring it
may be due to timing, too far advanced or just a little retarded. What your combo 350 engine and 350 turbo is size of your carbuerator and does it has vacuum secondary or is it a double pumper. Take care of the basic first spark plugs and wires. I run autolite platnuim 26 gap to .045 if you have a high performance coil or anything gap to .040 I have build all kind of motors I always run the same plugs. Good luck feel any ask question Last edited by johnsrob; 05-08-2010 at 06:11 AM. Reason: forgot the word joined |
