If there is a exhaust leak anywhere in the exhaust system it will make it back fire out the exhaust. Also raw fuel being in the exhaust pipes will make it back fire too.
That is if it is back firing when you let off of the throttle. But if it is back firing when you give it gas that could be bad plug wires are spark plugs, Timing may be to slow. Cam lobe worn down, Not getting enough fuel. could be a # of things. Check these things first, and if you still have a problem, then ask your question again.
It's lean.
Yes, They will bolt right up.
A large backfire is most likely caused by a bad spark plug or plug wire. Unburned air and fuel pumped into the exhaust will often be ignited by the other cylinders still burning exhaust gases. Also check your ignition timing, if it is late and you have a rich mixture you can get a backfire. An exhaust leak will let air enter the exhaust under deceleration and cause a "popping" sound.
no
NO there is not, That would be a AIR tube line for the emission system.
yes you might have to change your exhaust manifold
It is in the exhaust pipe up by the engine exhaust manifolds.
It's lean.
305s had 1.72" intakes with 1.50" exhaust valves. Depending on the 350, it could be the same, or have either 1.94" intake and 1.50" exhaust, or 2.02" intake with 1.60" exhaust.
needs overhaul rings ect.
From the front of the head it's EIIEEIIE. This is the same on both sides - (I=Intake, E=Exhaust) With the valve covers off the rocker that aligns with the exhaust port is the exhaust the other will align with the intake manifold runner this would be your intake
They are the 4 large holes on the outside of the head where the headers or exhaust manifolds go.
