hey guys, just got all parts w/ new gaskets back on. Tried to start car and got a pretty nasty backfire (engine didnt jump or anything tho) there was a really slow spark (pulled one plug out out and cranked spark was slow). Talked to the guy who tuned it, he said its probably the distributor not being set in right. First of all would that cause a slow spark and a backfire. Compression is good. Second, is backfire going to hurt my motor if its just one, and if so what gaskets could it blow...not trying to blow gaskets...thanks guys..


double checked all connections...cant figure out why wont start backfire is always ignition though....

Have you checked the distributor like the tuner said? Sounds like the problem to me.
