Old Man with a Hat
Cruising down the Interstate...sped up to pass lumbering truck, put foot down a bit on the 383...waited to feel familiar surge forward....got the sound of marbles in a coffee can and intermittent backfiring up through the carb instead...now under normal load 383 feels like its lost some power...and will backfire up thru carb under heavy load.
Slowly replacing everything, but All ignition stuff brand new: Accel 8mm wires, Mopar dist.cap w/ points, MSD Blaster coil, Mopar 13.5v reg (still have same ballast resistor). Plug wires on nice and tight. No previous issues.
- 2bbl carb starting to bail? (original 40+ yr old piece). Time to swap out?
- dead cylinder? -timing problem?
guesses?
