Hey Folks -
I'm new to the forum, and I have a question (as if the title didn't get the point across). I have a 1975 Stingray that I've owned for a while, but really don't take out...ever (it's been a labor of love slowly being rebuilt). Last summer, I pulled it out and decided to take it to the corner store. It started fine, and ran fine for about 8 miles. One the return trip, as I hit the gas, and it sounded (as a friend put it "like its backfiring out the carb"). It loses power, but continues to run, with a light foot on the peddle. It kinda sounds like if you were to cup your hands together and clap, and that sound is coming right out the carb. Before I start replacing everything (which I can and will eventually do), I figured I would run it past everyone who's willing to put up with my question. Thanks in advance for any assistance, and if it takes me a while to re-respond, it's because this is my first thread - Chris
