ok i went out to start my bronco 2 the other day and it turned over but would not fire so i checked spark and i had spark on all 6 cylinders so i checked fuel and i had good fuel pressure to my carburator. but when i would turn it over no fire and occasionally a little backfire out the carn shooting gas all over the bottom of my hood. i couldent figure out my problem but was a simple fix do you know the answer if so reply see how smart you are when seams impossible
