I’m so sorry everyone I just posted and should have been more specific about my issues. Our coupe was running great but had a very loud backfire once in a while out the exhaust. I found the intake was broken. I had the exhaust manifold resurfaced and installed a new intake and gaskets. Now the car runs worse. Tried multiple rebuilt cleaned soaked carbs with same issue. Runs rough
And adjusting the GAV doesn’t help. Fuel flow is great! Re gapped the points and that made it even worse! Bucks and shakes no power running warm and smells lean. The car ran beautifully except the occasional backfire before replacing the manifold and gaskets. Now it has all these issues and I’m stumped!!!
