258 6cyl backfire
ok my 82 j10 seems to really like to backfire out of the exhaust when i rev it up and it is really getting annoying, if i fell like running it through the gears kinda hard it just backfires in between gears loud i know its gonna do it some but its crazyis this common for these? i mean it only has 16,000 orig miles on it

well it was a new carb put on it about 2 years ago, but that was before me, so since its a happy 2 bbl i guess i need to check it out and since i havnt had to play with a 2bbl in 30 years this could be fun, and maybe check timing to see whats up there

no but i think there about time to replace all of that stuff because it has been parked and not been driven alot, it only has 16,000 miles on it, is there a new type distributor i could get and install thats better than the factory
