I had to replace the power valve in my first Holley back in the 1990s. No backfire that I recall, but it all of a sudden would bog when trying to go up even a slight hill. No idea what caused the blow-out.
For years now the carbs have had some kind of check valve that prevent blow-outs. I've never even looked into how it works, but never had another blow-out.
The only old vehicle I have now is my 69 C10, and it has a very old Edelbrock #1406. It works just fine, but I'm thinking about an AVS2 just because.
