back firing is either a timing issue or fuel.
it means a rich condition; shouldn't make it run hot
edit: you beat me, but is this incorrect?
i think these edelbrock carbs are pieces of poop anyway. about $500 later will be a holly truck avenger carb.
freddy's gonna smack you!
I think it would be better spent on fuel injection. But i am not sure how to fuel inject an M motor
i've been trying to think of something clever to come back on that. but i'm just not that quick.
i don't even think they have a kit for that. if so, i can't even weld much less install mpi
do you need a special manifold to run TBI? I thought you could put it on any manifold as long as it was set up for a spreadbore carb (or the other kind) anyway freddy will know.
Have you rejetted? I thought backfiring through the carb meant to lean not to rich, same **** mine did.
there is a way to put fuel injection on the M motors....tate's looked into it....it is definately $$$$.$$. holly carbs are poop. carbs are poop.
Yeah, no kits...make an adapter plate and kludge a throttle cable together, add 02 sensor and leave the rest up to GM
FYI: a lean condition and over fueling can overheat an engine.
i'm confused...aren't those mutually exclusive?
you might check the timming if its to advanced or retarded it will run hot .. is it getting hot idling or driving?? or both ?

this sunday, it only got like 80 degrees in galveston county. i drove it home in the evening around 5 pm, and it got up to 220 on the highway going appr 60-70 mph, and after driving through the city, it never came down. and the tranny does the same.
ALSO: i called jeff's broncograveyard about how much longer my radiator would be on backorder. i found out the aluminum radiator i orderred is not a cross flow. it is aluminum, but it's down flow. they said, the companies they've asked for an aluminum can't make a cross flow. the best they can do is take the old brass/copper down flows and use them as a template to make them out of aluminum. i think bronco hut says they make a cross flow w/2 1-1/4" cores direct replacement for about the same price. should i consider them.
jbg also said they route the fluid through the radiator, then the aux cooler, then back to the tranny. they say it keeps the tranny fluid cooler because the engine coolant will always be hotter than the tranny. i have it routed backwards to the way they route their tranny lines. would it change the temps?
Is aluminum really that much better at cooling than your old radiator? I know copper is a better conductor than aluminum. not sure about brass.
