Hey everybody. I posted a couple weeks ago about a fuel problem and solved it with just a higher psi pump and a regulator, now of course I have another problem. It sounds timed right by ear at idle. It idles abnormally high, 1200, and idle varies and doesn't have a real radical cam. The damper is so far off the timing light doesn't catch my degree markers which may just be that when I stabbed it it 1st cylinder wasn't all the way compressed. Ok, now on to the real problem. When I put the car in gear it backfires A LOT. It backfires nasty and often. Timing right? Do I need a different advance spring? It has a heavy spring on right now. It doesn't rev up worth a damn in gear I can't get it past 3,000 it's got less power than a four banger. Another odd thing is when I decelerate I hear an odd kind of turbo-like noise I've never heard before, I don't actually have a turbo. Could this be a vacuum leak?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
