Best Answer

Could be a number of reasons but one that comes to mind is the camshaft has worn lobes. This condition would cause a consistent popping out of the carb on acceleration.

Can you use a 1974 chevy 307 c.i. egr equipped carb and intake on a 1969 chevy 307 c.i. engine with non-egr heads?

Sure. Although the choke will at the very least, need adjusting if you can get it to work at all. You might need to adjust and/or re-jet the carb as well. But assuming that the carb is good, you can just bolt it on and it WILL run, just no telling how well it will run. I've done it before with no mods to the carb and it ran just fine. Other times, I had to fiddle with it to get it to run right. Since they are both 307's, chances are it will work just fine other than the possible choke issues.

What size carb will fit a 307 olds?

Actually any carburetor will work providing you do not exceed the maximum CFM's for your engine. Carburation is tuned by the jetting inside the carb to obtain the right fuel mix, so you could use a 2 barrel or a 4 barrel providing they are both jetted right for the airflow. The biggest carb you can use on this engine can be calculated with the following formula: CID x max RPM / 3456 = CFM whereas your engine is a 307 and theoretically if it is a street motor would see about 5000 max rpm then: 307 x 5000/3456=444 CFM's

Will a carburetor from a Chevy 350 fit on an olds 307 manifold?

Most Rochestor 2 and 4 barrel carbs should fit on the manifold but watch out for subtle linkage and choke hook ups. And the carb off the 350 will be a bit rich for the 307. Short of changing the metering rods, it's tricky to lean out.
