Hello, I am new to hot rodding and have been trying to track down an intake/carb backfire for a while. I’ve done a list of changes but I think I found a culprit. I have a Chevy 350 with a Edelbrock 122 #1552 blower.
It seems like there are backfires under harder acceleration from idle and I find black soot/carbon comes out near the sneeze valve and bypass valve. Anyways, I noticed today liquid was dripping near the bypass valve hose. I thought it was a worn out leaky hose but I discovered the bottom of the unit is warped or unseated, causing a leak. I have limited knowledge but the backfires are around there on the drivers side of the engine. Could this be causing or atleast making these issues worse? Also where the heck do I get a replacement? They don’t seem easy to find and any numbers on the unit don’t turn up any results. Also, the hose is unplugged only when I was looking for the leak, it has been in while driving.
Thank You,
