Well....phooey!
By John - 11/03/2005 12:40:01 PM; IP 142.177.94.89
Replacing "two" missing header bolts and tightening the rest didn't do any good. Still a backfire in drier's side exhaust. Must check for carb mounting bolts being tight next I suppose. Somehow air is getting into exhaust and igniting fuel when I let off the gas. Doesn't happen after hard acceleration, just after short acceleration bursts. Ignition seems OK with all sparkplugs reading identical. Used to be when this happened, cleaning points fixed problem, but have Pertronix now and it has been fine for over a year. Doesn't happen on passenger's side. Passenger side is different in that the PCV valve is connected to that side. There is no anti-backfire valve on this engine. Might be getting air where header pipes slip fit into collector......oh phooey.....what a pain....LOL.
