It has a brand new E.G.R. It came with the valve cover kit I bought when I pulled the old ones to adjust the valves.
The popping is not consistent. Ill check all of the plugs for cracks.
Last time I checked, about a month ago, the plugs were not showing any signs of rich conditions. They were a light shade of tan without any blisters or buildup of any sort. I am definately suspecting the fuel pump as the culprit. I'll check it for pressure, as soon as I get a guage. Do I check it at the pump outlet? or do I check it at the end of the fuel line that attaches to the carb? The fuel pressure should be four to six psi right? If not what is the proper fuel pressure. Is there a pump brand that you would reccomend? I really dont like the one I have now, because it is super noisy, and I only paid twelve bucks for it and at that price Im afraid that I got what I paid for. I think the line size I used was 5/16 i.d. that would be big enough right? Oh, maybe it is useless info at this point but, It mostly pops from the passnger side pipe, and If I really get on it, it pops from both pipes. If it is the fuel pump why would it favor one side of the engine? It is significantly worse now in the winter, than it ever was in the summer.
Thank you guys so much for your help.

I really hope that someday I'll know enough to help someone the way you guys do.
