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
That's funny about calling out the car models going by, that's one of my early memories sitting on a bus stop bench with my mom enthusiastically calling out the cool cars going by, I was about 4 or 5...
How did you get hooked on cars?
