I have tried driving it a time or 2 but it wants to pop back through the carburetor when you give it gas. I have done the following and am at a loss on what to look at next. Rebuilt carb and distributor, replaced coil, checked and replaced cracked head, had 4 valves that did not have enough clearance so I fixed that. Went back in and replaced the valves, guides, and springs. Thought there may have been a weak point there. The popping is more prevalent the hotter the engine gets. It idles great, just won't run on the road. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
