Re: Holley model #, and backfiring thru carb

["Myron Ware" <cmw@domain.elided>]

Howard,
  It may be that the carb is spitting back and not backfiring, as 
there's not a big bang when it happens, but I can hear what sounds 
like some sort of pressure event exiting the carb.  Of course, it 
also feels like it wants to instantly die on me until I ease off to 
let it recover.  After recovering, it feels like a plug has gotten 
fouled (I'm very familiar with that feeling), but a mash on the 
throttle with no load clears it.  
Thanks,
Myron
