Re: [AMC-list] amc 258-6 backfiring thru carb

One of the symptoms of a lean mixture is backfiring through the carb.   Check to 
see that the carb hold down nuts are secure and check for elsewhere for an 
intake vacuum leak, vacuum hoses, etc.

Yesterday my wife's 258-6 Eagle started backfiring thru carb. Popping noise. 
Still runs, but rough, and pop noise. I am sort of stumped on this and have read 
a variety of answers all over place but carb jets appear to be clean, 
distributor cap fine although will replace it, have not checked vacuum advance 
nor timing yet. Any advise appreciated, just reply here & thanks in advance to 
all who might reply.
