Did you remove the dizzy for the intake manifold replacement? It can be done with the dizzy in place, just a little inconvenient.

BTW, if you still suspect that it may back fire, I'd troubleshoot with the air cleaner on if possible, to help control any flaming backfires. Good luck.

I got the backfireing under controle it was just timed a little too far after tdc we fixed that and i got the linkage to fit good, i even drove it to work today, it ran good but the a/f mix is a little rich, im gonna lean her up in a little bit, i took her out yesterday and she seemed really gutless, could that be from the a/f mix being to ritch? how do i know when i have a good mix?
