hey all been a while just purchased a 76 6banger it starts and idles fine but when u start driving it down the road it backfires and starts poping acts like its out of fuel but i know its not what might it be?
i would try a carb rebuild first. change the fuel filter at the same time. also if the gas in the car is old that could do it too.
there is susposed to be a "sock" type filter on the pick up tube in the tank. its usually not a problem. they will fall a part and clog up the main filter before they get cloged up. get a rebuild kit for the carb and really clean the all the passages as best as you can.
