<div>It is possible that your fuel pump cannot quite keep up with the fuel needed at this top limit. I don't know what pump you have fitted but the square base version or the double version give a higher flow rate.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Before making major changes it might be worth checking that the pump has the correct diaphragm travel.</div>

<p>Some parts like i.e. the distributor or carbs are taken of the engine when it is rebuild and then after having lain on the shelf for months or even years are put back on the engine the way they came off, without resetting or cleaning.

</p>
<p>In the distributor are the bob weights inside the body that regulate the mechanical advance. These need regular maintenance (mostly forgotten) to prevent them from corrosion and sticking. It is not seldom that these get stuck or do not move freely which
might be a cause for backfiring. Also check the plugs and wires.</p>
<p>If the car is still on points check the dwell angle and points condition. Also check the timing.</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">I have been driving my 67 BJ8 since rebuilding and working on the rest of the car the past year. After installing the new shock absorbers and the new speedo, I took the car for
a ride. With the new shocks and the new Shaved tires, she drives like brand new car down the Tamiami Trail at 50-70 mph, so I decided to push it a little more. However at 4000 plus rpms and about 90 mph, I was not looking so closely at the speedo or tack,
the engine back fired, so I let off the gas and returned to normal highway speeds. Engine ran fine all the way home. Suggestions what could cause the backfire at high speeds?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
