When an engine backfires aka (burps) back through the carburetor this usually indicates a lean fuel to air mixture or an intake leak( which is more noticable at low RPM). When the an engine afterfires, aka (farts) out the tailpipe it usually means too rich of a mixture or unburnt fuel is entering the exhaust system
It's lean.
It's lean. Could be something plugged in the carb.
A 350 Chevy engine can backfire on acceleration due to several factors, including an incorrect air-fuel mixture, typically too lean, which can cause combustion issues. Timing problems, such as incorrect ignition timing or a malfunctioning distributor, may also lead to backfiring. Additionally, issues with the intake or exhaust system, like vacuum leaks or a clogged exhaust, can contribute to this problem. Regular maintenance and proper tuning can help prevent backfiring.
iT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S OUT OF TIME ARE THE PLUG WIRES ARE CROSSED ( ON WRONG )
The thermostat on a Chevy 350 is under the housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose.The thermostat on a Chevy 350 is under the housing at the engine end of the upper radiator hose.
That usually means it's lean. Check all vacuum lines and gaskets for leaks.
CHECK your tioming - might have jumped a tooth - check control module or coil might be the problem
Under the rocker cover.
Yep.
The ability of a 289 Ford to outrun a 350 Chevy largely depends on various factors, including vehicle weight, modifications, and specific performance setups. Generally, a 350 Chevy engine has a power advantage due to its larger displacement, which can translate to better acceleration and top speed. However, a well-tuned and lighter 289 can compete effectively under the right conditions. Ultimately, the outcome would depend on the specific vehicles and their configurations.
