Hi All,
I was working on my 1955 Truck today as the timing needed looking at. It was well advanced and would occasionally back fire, so I have pulled it back to where it feels right.
When I finished with the truck last year I don't remember it ever back firing as it does now on acceleration. It only has a little cough as I take off or maybe get it into 3rd and accelerate gently before getting it into OD
The truck has a 289 in it with stick and OD. Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and a window type later dissy.
I have never tuned the truck and the fuel in the tank may be over a year old but topped up. We have pretty good fuel here in the UK.
Have any of you got any ideas of what the problem may be ? It does seem to accelerate fine, but the occasional light cough is annoying.
Thanks
Greg
