Default Re: Distributor

Back firing through the carb could be other issues to, could be running to lean, intake valve is hanging open, or improper valve adjustment. These are set at .012 intake and .018 exhaust. If you haven't checked them I would for sure. On my 305 I found several of them to tight do to ignorant shade tree mechanics who think they know it all. There may be some vacuum leaks. With the engine off, look down the throat of the carb and pump the gas, does it give a nice shot of fuel down the manifold? If so, your accelerator pump is fine. If not, there is at least part of your issues.
