Re: Help... Starting Problems, Rough Idle, and Backfire through Carburetor
Look & listen for a vaccuum leak
Also check the timing - it really sounds like a timing issue - to far advanced
Also this would be a good time to replace the fuel filter
New set of plugs and wires, cap & rotor
Lastly if I read your post correctly you have HEI - if that is the case I would also replace the module that is located on the bottom side of the distributor - this seems to be the one minor weak link in the HEI system
