I have a 1979 Chevy Camaro with a Chevy small block V-8 350 4 brrl carb. with duel Flowmaster exhaust, and it is a automatic. Now the car runs great, but when I floor it then let off the gas, it seems to back-fire alot. I also have a exhaust leak, would that increase the back-fires? Also, when warmed up good enough, it seems to back fire less when letting off. Any suggestions on how I can fix this problem? Thank you...
