1976 k Blazer starting my first rebuild
reason I'm rebuilding is at idle it ran great applying throttle it would back fire hard disassembled block already timing was good valves didn't look bad, only thing weird was piston 1 and 6 where really clean indication a small head gasket failure but it wasn't noticeable while it ran, at a loss as to why it back fired,

Check the ignition parts under the distributor cap for signs of a damaged wire, if it has an 'ignition module' it may need replacement. Did you check the ignition timing? Are the plug wires in good condition?

The distributor was practically brand new now I'm going to focus on rebuilding it getting the head checked and resurfaced and the block resurfaced as well, i would like to do all new pistons but since I'm jobless and going to school full time I'm having to settle for just ring's and new seals and get it running with the stock cam
