    340 popping through carb at low RPM.

    Just wanted to update everyone who helped! Replaced my unilite distributor with a Mopar performance kit and ALL my problems are gone! Thanks again for all the input, it's much appreciated. Sooooo glad I'm done chasing this issue. The car runs like a dream!

    340 popping through carb at low RPM.

    Well I finally had a little more time to play with the car over the weekend. I started with the richer carb jets with absolutely no change. Removed valve covers and watched all the rocker arms move. They all seem to be moving about the same distance just by the eye test. I then backed off all...

    Gotcha. I was looking at your distributor and may end up going that way. I will be putting it in a 69 Cuda 340 and would appreciate it if you could let me know what else I will need to complete the system. Thanks

    Been searching through ignition posts looking for a different distributor setup. Curious why you don't make HEI kits anymore? Thanks Matt

    I'm hoping that is the issue! I ordered some richer rods for the carb that will be here today.

    340 popping through carb at low RPM.

    On my list of things to check! I did a compression check on it this morning and they were all close. Lowest was 135 and high was 142. The metering rods I have made no difference. If I get a chance this week, I will pull the covers and have a look . Thanks

    340 popping through carb at low RPM.

    I am going to have to pick some up tomorrow. All I have is a set of 7347s from another carb. I threw them in for the heck of it and am about to take it for a drive.

    It's got 7547 rods in it now. It pops while revving in neutral as well.

    It's most notable toward the end of the video.

    340 popping through carb at low RPM.

    I made a short video tonight while we were cruising around and will post it once I figure out how. Does it have to be a link to a you tube video?

    I was really hoping you were right about the plug wires! I will keep plugging away and see where I get. Thanks for your help!

    340 popping through carb at low RPM.

    Sorry, I wasn't trying to ignore you. In the middle of a yard project with my wife and trying to get to the bottom of this. I took the air cleaner off and checked the wires again and they are correct. It has a unilite distributor in it and I've read multiple horror stories about them. Wondering...

    340 popping through carb at low RPM.

    It definitely not a pop pop pop. More like one or two pops on acceleration and then clears up once it's off that 1000-1200 rpm range. It will also do it randomly on the highway if the motor slows down going up a hill in 4th gear. If I speed up to keep the rpm up, it's fine

    340 popping through carb at low RPM.

    The timing was set when I got the engine and had a slight ping under acceleration. I backed the timing off slightly and the ping and exhaust pop went away at idle. I have not put a light on it yet. The distributor is not vacuum advance and I have not done any carb adjustment other than the...

    340 popping through carb at low RPM.

    When I first got it running, it would pop from the exhaust at idle once warmed up. After I got the timing sqaured away, that issue is gone. Once and a while it will pop out the exhaust as it idles down at a stop light. Usually only one or two pops and it quits.

    340 popping through carb at low RPM.

    I asked this question in my project thread and it hasn't gotten a whole lot of attention. My 69 Barracuda 340 4spd has an issue of popping through the carb during acceleration at low RPM. Most notably when taking off from a stop sign. If I baby it and accelerate slowly, it wont do it but every...

    I've read about that a few different places and would think there would be some valve train noise if the cam was worn that much. I'm going to dig into it and eliminate everything else before I throw a new cam in it. Thanks for the input.

    1969 Barracuda Formula S project.

    Been driving it quite a bit lately and have an issue with it popping through the carb just off idle once its warmed up. It idles perfect and runs great going down the highway but pops when leaving a stop. If I am very gentle or rev it up and leave with authority, it wont do it. It doesn't have a...

    69 Notch Barracuda - Rebirth

    Looks great! I just finished a similar build on my father in-laws 69 fastback. Been driving it for about a week now and it's a blast.

    Ran the buffer around the rust spots and from 20 yards, it actually looks ok. Took it to a cruise night at the local drive in Thursday and it really drives nice. 150 trouble free miles so far.

    Finally pulled it out of the corner after winter and took it for its maiden voyage. So far everything seems to be working surprisingly well! First stop was the Cemetery to visit the father in-law.

    69 Barracuda fender dog leg repair

    I bought a set of used fenders that are in really good shape besides a little rot in both dog legs. I have found the patch panels if needed, but one side is missing the inner support/bolt flange at the bottom of the leg. If anybody has any input, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
