I am back again. After world class help from you all on a backfire on decel problem--I decided to buy some stainless steel heat exchangers (used on e-bay). My thought was that I had a leak somewhere and that replacing the original exhaust system might help. Right before I started the job, I tried the trick of plugging the exhaust pipe to see if the engine would still run. It slowed right down and quit--so no leak?? Anyway, I pulled them off anyway and now can't decide if the originals (30 yrs old) are better than the replacements. The stainless steel aren't as heavy duty. Also, they looked a bit warped where they connect to the muffler. What are your thoughts??
The only other thing I have trouble shot on the backfire problem is the cold start valve. Disconnecting it didn't change the problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Here are a couple of photos... Attached image(s)
