backfire at low rpm
Just found this website and so far it has been great. I have been reading a lot and has helped with a bunch of little problems I have been having. I have never really worked on my own cars before so it is all very new to me.
Anyways, I just got a 73 Chevy C1500 with a 350. I was told it needed a new carb. I got an edelbrock 600cfm and installed it last night. At idle it sounds good but when I start to pull off it backfires at low rpm, if I give it some gas it stops but when I come to stop then go to take off again it backfires until I reach higher rpms.
I have been playin with the carb but not having any luck, even though it could be the problem. I will play with it some more today. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
