Just a couple times and then it accelerates fine ?
Or does it happen when you wind it up to higher RPM?
And keep popping as long as you keep your foot down ?

Describe the popping in more detailJust a couple times, or even once and then accelerates fine.

My best advice to you would be to wait until Vile can take a look. He just spent a lot of time on the truck, any issues you have he will want to address himself directly. It's best not to fiddle around and mess with or change things, you could inadvertently cause other problems. Let him figure it out.
Exactly, i'm sure he'll catch this post and get back to me.

Take in mind the carb was originally on a 305 correct.
350's tad bit more demanding.

Now what?? Can i keep my current carb and be fine? The engine feels like it has a lot more power than the carb is allowing, a little boggy. But i'm not complaining, smooth as glass.

Seriously, i wish several of us could get together and have a little 73-87 tune-up party. That would be great.

Check those simple things first, it's my Birthday Friday and my woman has plans for us so I am not sure how the weekend will pan out but I did find out today she is planning a "surprise" party for me. Hopefully things will calm down a little Sunday and beyond. Maybe you can swing by Sunday and we can do some tinkering. Have to play it by earThe only thing simple there is the re-snugging of the base plate, and i would love to do that. I've been painting since friday morning, only to stop to eat and sleep. I am totally burnt out. I really hate painting. I had to paint all trim, then cut the entire room three times and roll three times in three rooms. Thats how you have to do it when you go from a light to darker color. I wish i wasnt cursed with this skill,,,and could transfer it to 73-87's instead!!

If a moderator catches this, perhaps combine to "bad vibration" but just prior to post # 456. Usually Irish catches these things.

I know i advanced the timing, but how does that technically make such a difference, i mean with the popping and all?
When you floor it, you dump a bunch of fuel and if the timing isn't advanced enough the engine won't rev fast enough and the carb pops some of the fuel out. I've had to tighten the spring on the secondaries to keep the back barrels from opening too soon on WOT, running 36 degrees total advance. Fine balancing act to get everything right running a stock quadrajet on a stock car.

Not that im going to, but how do you tighten that spring on the secondaries?
To be honest I don't remember, my sponsor at the time of my stock car did the fine tuning. All I remember is I had an occasional pop but a hesitation every time I floored it. He used a small screw driver and fixed it right up. Mind you this was an early 70's Rochester on a put together junk yard 350 engine in my hobby stock

Word:
i had a backfire out of the carb a few days ago right after i started the new engine. Not to mention trouble keeping the engine running. i advanced the timing a bit and it took care of those problems.

SQUAREFEST
i actually have access to a suitable space---both outdoors AND indoors. And yes, a tune-up clinic should definitely be a part of it.
