We need to unroll the world, so that it's flat again. Like it used to be in the good old days.

I own a shop, and build many 350 small block engines. If you got compression coming back through the carburetor, you have either a lobe worn on the cam, a bent push rod, a loose/worn out rocker, or a burnt valve. Run a vacuum test to see what it is doing. I'll bet the needle is all over the place, and if you read the chart for the vacuum gage you will see what I mean. I have seen the lifter get a pin hole worn in it from a worn out cam & lifter set, thus causing this problem. Either way a vacuum test should help you locate the problem. A timing problem such as the rotor button, or cap causing a crossfire will do this too. A worn out distributor can do this. See if you can move the shaft from side to side in the distributor. Put a timing light on the engine to see if the timing is way off, or moving around. It could be the timing chain & gear set going out. 150 pounds of compression is good, and I don't think you would have that much with a burnt valve. This may sound crazy, but I have saw an engine do this with a bad spark plug as in the ceramic broken causing fire to jump. Fire jumping to the center post through the rotor button will do this. Look for a carbon trail that looks like a pencil has been drawing inside the distributor cap. I really don't think the octane booster is doing this, unless you got a bad bottle of it for some reason. Make a line that will come off the fuel pump into a jug of gas. This will tell you if you have bad fuel if it stops doing it. The vacuum gage is your best bet. Honda Guy is very correct in what he is saying. I agree 100% with him. I would rule out the firing thing with the cylinder, before I pulled the valve cover. With it running you will be able to see a valve that is not opening up, as it will look different. You can make a cardboard shield to keep the oil from going everywhere, and don't rev the engine up, or you will have hot oil all over you and the car. If nothing is broke, bent, or worn out, then you must for some reason have a plug firing at the wrong time forcing the exhaust out the intake. Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!

1. Yahoo Answers is open 24 hours a day. So start earlier.
2. You can move to another time zone.

It is the Great Astronomers who should be blamed after all. They all started it why we have come up with different time zones. Philosophers can't do otherwise but to accept the realities.
Thanks for asking. Have a wonderful day ahead of you!

I know what you mean....it is way past a sensible time for me to be asleep, too....it is 2:30 am here now....I have been wondering about this problem for a long time! I sometimes wonder if my only solution is to move a few time-zones to the west!

I don't have to worry about time zones, because I am in a make-shift satellite orbiting the Earth. Time zones are mute up here. lol

WeeeeeeLLLLLL Acttttttuuuuulllly!
GOD Almighty's "Time" happens Instantly All Over the Universe!
GOD Keeps EveryThing Running---Moment by Moment.
Then, EveryThing runs around in Circles and Such (planets, moons, suns, stars so on) and That is where we get Our Time.

May I suggest a rather irrational solution to your problem? Pack up all your belongings and move to a different time zone ;)

I think all of you should move to the Pacific time zone.
but I like Patrick's Idea also.
wait a minute, that is the same idea, isn't it?

Perhaps they should make a universal time zone and clocks.
