Just started my 63 SWC Fuelie after a long winter. When I ran the motor last year, I adjusted timing etc and it ran OK with the occational "miss", which I was planning to investigate after storage. ( the car has been under a 5 year restoration).
I installed the spark plug shielding last winter, except the cover over the distributor.
When I started the car up, it backfired, on what apears both banks. The backfiring did not go away as the motor warmed up (didn't want to cont running it).
What is the likely cause of the back-firing, or "missing" ? There is a popping sound coming from the exhaust...
Is there a way to narrow down the root cause ? Can someone stear me in the right direction ?
