need some help

so i'm 105 miles into my break in period for a brand new posi rear end that was a 2.73 and now is a 3.73 posi rear end.
i went out on a drive ans when i started to do a brake tork the car started to mis fire and then it died out.
it started right up again but when i floored it- it back fired and i blew open both mufflers out surely there is no connection about the engine misfire along with the rear end gear
its a 350 and i have a 3 speed trans, it revs high traveling the highways,
does the high rpms have anything to do with it

I highly doubt that the rear gears could cause a back fire. Check your plugs and such. Ignition components.

X2, either ignition or a carburetor issue

Has it done it again sine sir? As for the high revs on the highway, you put some steeper gears in it so those will contribute to a higher rpm while driving at highway speeds.

Sounds like ignition problems. If your car has points and not a hei, i would start there.

a spring popped off the weights under the rotor, and I'm guessing that caused the backfire
I only found this out after I went to the local winners circle and bought new plugs wires cap and rotor and header heat rap
I installed everything, I put the heavy springs in and advanced the timing, I took the car out and ran it a few miles before I laid into it,
I did a nice brake tork and it was perfect did not pop hesitate or misfire, I left a nice 8 foot dual patch of rubber on the back country road,

Glad you found the problem.

Laying rubber feels so good. Glad you figured it out.
