I need help again guys. Ive read a few threads and havent got anywhere. Last night my car was running great. I took off the carb, to try out a holley, then put my edelbrock back on. I left it like that. Today i went to start it, and it was backfiring like hell flames out of carb. I took the distributor out redid the timing, and still nothing.i did tdc, compression stroke, number 1 on cap pointing to #1 cylinder wire, crank it and starts after revving it, but it will not idle. Also it has a nasty idle, sounds like not all cylinders are firing, but sounds regular at high rpms. What should i look for? Could it be my timing chain jumped, and messed up the timing? I have checked the timing, and its not 180 out, so any help is greatly appreciated.. Im very frustrated at the moment please help. Ps. Could it be a vaccum leak? Thanks
