Default Re: Backfire

Are you running a Tilotson carb? The pot metal used in the Tillys tends to warp. Heat exacerbates the warping. You may be opening up a gap at the mating surface between the carb and intake manifold as the car heats up, leaning out the mixture. An overly lean mixture will cause a backfire through the carb.
