Listen you idiot, if it backfiring trough the carb then check the timing,and why didnt you just buy a new carb like an edelbrock and check you fuel preesure, you dumb ass
What year is that truck? Looks to me like a 73, 74, or 75 model. What engine does it have? From the video, it looks like a 360 0r 390 FE Big block V-8.
Gotta tell ya, I like the sound that those older Ford Starters make when you crank them.
Here is what FORD stands for. Its an acronym for "Fixed Over Reconditioned Dodge"
yeh um you can actually start your truck on fire if it backfires like taht i would suggest getting it fixed re do the timing then she will love you again
The timing is way out of adjustment.Get a timing light and set it to spec with the vacuum advance line to the distributor disconnected and plugged.
You'll probably have to turn the distributor some by hand first to get it to idle.If you turn it some (like half an inch) one way and it runs worse, go back the other way a 1/4 inch at a time until it runs good enough to use the light.
Have you messed around with the electrics yet? From what it sounds like to me now it could be a bad vac leak. Mine sounded like this when I started it after the rebuild and it would kick over and die like this but I had the carb gaskets on wrong so it sounded like it was sucking air and killing the enigne check those gaskets and vac hoses running to the carb to see if thats the prob. at least you know it is getting fuel now so one prob is eliminated. good luck little by little its comming.
I checked the Dist cap, and it was as good as new.. Almost scary like... I am going to get my uncle to check the timing (he has a timing light and I don't)... If it's either of your other two options I know a little old man who is going to get a half ton Ford crammed someplace very uncomfortable.
Scary like he already tride what yer tryin? uh-oh....
Cam jobs arn't that bad! did a few of them back when i was racin street stocks, 4- hours or so, mabe two six packs? your all set with da Pizzah. always put a new double roller timming chain in when doin a cam!
Yeah, I'm starting to wonder... Granted the thing has the documents saying it only has 40,000 miles on it, but you know.. Still kind of scared about this... I am finding a lot of new parts that it seems like I'm hitting as I go to fix stuff... Time and tinkering will tell...
my truck looked exactly like that before i restored it check out my vid

@NOLIMIT69NOLIMIT2000 Filter in the Carb.. Cleaned that and it runs fine, until it gets clogged again. junk in the fuel line.

Now that sounds like it could be it... I still haven't had time to check electric... It does suck a lot of air... hmmmmm...
Thenotsogoodreverend 3 years ago
Did you check your dist. cap for cracks or carbon? Make sure your timing is correct too.
You might want to think about doin a compression check to see if ya got a burnt or damaged intake valve.
Most likely though, this sounds like a worn out camshaft....sorry dude.
