78 spider 124 popping up thru carburator

[MrBlimp]

My car has been popping through the carburetor. Occasional this happens while driving. It also is happening a lot while starting.

I recently changed the plugs, wires, rotor, cap, condenser and points (the car is running much stronger since).

I only drive the car on an occasional weekend and it has always been difficult to start and get up to steady revs.

Anyone have any suggestions what I should be looking at.

Timing

[MrBlimp]

I checked the points and they were way off. The manual states 12 to 19 degrees. I set them at 16 degrees and the car now starts and runs great.

I am wondering, what is the different affect setting the points towards either 12 or 19 degrees?
