Thread: Very confused-chronic timing event

Hoss, Yes, it's backfiring through the exhaust. It occurs at idle all the way through the RPM range, assuming I can get it to go off idle. If I feather the throttle I can bring the RPM's up but it's raising hell all the way. The good news is, it's consistent. If it weren't and that thing backfired just every once in a while, I'm at the age where I'd have to worry about a heart attack :-)

techinspector, I'll re-lash them using your method. That makes more sense to me than rolling them. Is it best to adjust them while they're hot and pumped up or after they've bled down ?? I can dial the fuel pressure down to 5 lbs. I'm pretty sure I can adjust down to 3. WOuld that be better at idle ?

Late model small block engines (not LS engines) are the same as all other 283-307-350-400 engines. Propane or not, does not matter. That's one thing (of many) that Chevy did right...they dont change stuff like some of the other brands.......the other guys found their problem and circled it....on their emblem.

Good stuff. I needed a good chuckle this afternoon. Thanks Robot.
