Re: SBC 350 Engine Backfire Through Exhaust and Carb

Turned the engine over and watched all rocker arms move. These all move the same distance visually, so I'm confident that rules out cam or lifter issues.

I'm going to run a vacuum gauge and see if there are any wierd symptoms happening when idling, and running at different RPM's.
