i just rebuilt the head on my 1980 2.3l and its backfireing out of the carb...would that mean the timing is advanced or retarted?
went thru this problem just yesterday ...replaced the head on my pinto went to crank it and backfiring thru the carburator..checked and re-checked timing marks and found the cam gear that drives the distubutor was off by 2 teeth.Keep moving the distributor untill I got it to fire and run smoothly
