It blew the oil caps OFF??? Sounds like it is way off.
Are you sure the firing order is right?? 302 and 351W are different. The cams will interchange and you have to set the firing order per which cam you have. How about vacumn leak at intake manifold. Or a messed up carb. If it is backfiring through the intake and carb. the power valve is surely gone. When it goes the motor will run very rich and won't adjust [idle] at all. You have to get it to stop backfiring or the valve will just continue to go bad one right after the other. If you cover the top of the carb with you hand while it is running and [sort of hand choking it] does it run better?? Be careful if it is barfing back. You have something off here. What does the vacumn read at idle?? Who adjusted the valves?? Are they too tight?? Do you know if the balancer is correct??
