Not totally the point either but if fuel is now or before in the oil that's a problem or if fuel filter is right at carb could be a problem spot as well flooding out or debris making fuel keep running at needle valve when it should shut tight? Still any could jump valve timing and should be checked that it didn't. Not GM that I knew of but some mechanical fuel pumps rode on a cam that was on and indexed to a cam gear I thought only Mopars did that. If so it might have disturbed something putting in fuel pump? Rule of thumb with mechanical fuel pump with contact on a cam any which way is to remove and replace on low area of the cam however it's done such that you don't force it back on by mounting bolts/nuts or can't without turning engine, T kev2 Veteran Feb 19, 2017, 1:08 PM Post #3 of 4 (2577 views) Re: engine running rough and backfiring Sign In this is the first generation chevy small block, sister to a 283. and to amuse us it a chevy 4.3 V8? I doubt it jumped timing sitting - and being babied - most likely fuel, the pump/filter solved the issue and then it reappeared so I would look at fuel quality- filters, inline and inlet "stone" at carb - maybe look in float bowl, crud and rust maybe. Being an older model - check the dist remove cap - everything moving freely? spark at all 8? Vacuum - there were not many vac accessories so that should be a easy check... Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 19, 2017, 1:32 PM Post #4 of 4 (2571 views) Re: engine running rough and backfiring Sign In I would check fuel supply into a glass container. These mechanical fuel pump pull as opposed the electric pumps pushing. If any of the fuel lines between the pump and the tank get rotted, they usually don't leak fuel, the suck air when the pump tries to pull so check the condition of the fuel lines. One way to test for this is to connect a 5 gallon gas can directly to the fuel pump with a fresh piece of hose and see if that cures the fuel supply problems. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
