Hey ye smart ones

My new neighbor took me for a ride in his '66 Jag E-type.  Nice car, but
back-fires through the carburetors if he hits the accelerator to fast.  This
happens at all temps/speeds.  If he eases into it, it runs fine.  Any ideas?
It has the original 3 SU's and the motor has about 3000 miles on a rebuild.
The car runs good up to the 5000 redline. Sure is different then a Roadster
- not a tossable car.  I would consider it a highway Roadster.  It would be
fun to take to the beach.

Happy Roadstering
