Hey Guys,

Just a dumb question, my 56 has always popped or given a small backfire out of the exhaust when I decelerate or gear down from hard acceleration, but now it seems to be doing it everytime I let off the gas? The question is, is this a timing issue or a carb / fuel issue? The car is running fine, idles fine and has no problem accelerating? I'm woundering if my distributor moved a bit or if the problem lies in the holley carb? It is a little tough to set my timming as my damper has spun AGAIN Crazy so I just set it by ear.Any thoughts, it is somewhat embarassing to hear my car banging away when I slow down! Blush

Rob

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!
