Re: SBC 350 Engine Backfire Through Exhaust and Carb

Popping through the exhaust is generally a rich condition. Raw fuel in the hot exhaust ignites and causes the popping. Popping through the carb is usually a lean condition or improper timing. Did you run a zddp additive and the proper oil during break in? How exactly did you break it in? Did you let the engine idle at all? What oil are you running now?
