Re: Popping/backfiring through carb. Help?

So I just got the call. They said my distributor cap had a crack in it causing the main issue, but also the plugs were slightly fouled. They replaced the cap and rotor button and plugs and retuned the carb and reset the timing. They said the carb I have is a bit too much for the motor, and they had to lean it pretty far out to get it to run smooth. Another thing they said was my wires were getting too close to the manifolds and causing them to get super hot and recommended to get some wire loom to hold them up out of the way.

Anyone have a recommendation/link to one they would suggest?

Going to pick it back up soon and hopefully it drives a lot smoother.
