Bandy123, I was able to get to the WEB Site. I had a problem with my '82 a number of years ago. Occasionally only one fuel injectors would fire, had a heck of a time finding the problem. It turned out to be the computer, not the prom but the computer itself.
BTW, welcome to the Forum! :)

Make sure your timing is right. If the timing is too far off, it will cause that backfire through the intake as well. Harmonic balancer might have slipped making it seem like the timing is correct as well.

Hi fellow 82 owners!
Mine is one of those that has been converted to carburation. I did it for performance reasons, not because it was a bad system. There is nothing wrong with the ole' missfire system and there are certainly a few on this forum that know how to tune them properly. Unless you are looking for very significant gains in performance there is no real reason to convert. Just go to the links, ask questions and before you know it she'll be running like a top!
Cheers and welcome! :seeya
