Question Backfire and Run-ON.

What causes sneezing/backfire through the carbs? Most of the time, the backfire is so violent that the engine just stops running.

And the engine keeps on running for a few seconds after turning the ignition key off -- ending with a big wheeeeze.

What's going on?

BTW, I was playing around with the carbs and ignition timing -- I think I've lost my baseline.

Could someone please post the tune-up specs and procedure for a '68 280S?

Thanks in advance,
