New owner, 47 dodge deluxe questions

Hello, I am new to this group and classic dodges.  I recently purchased a 47 deluxe that has the org flat head six in it.  I have debated on swapping this motor to a new gen 3 hemi but would love to cruise the car for a summer once I finish the 12 volt wiring swap.  My problem is my car runs but when trying to pull out it back fires spit and sputters.  Just looking for where to start with the org flat six.  Added a few pics so you can see my new toy.  Thanks for any help.

Well, as a guess, I'd probably go thru the carb and give it a real good cleaning as part of the rebuild.  They are pretty simple things, just verify all the adjustments.

It has a rebuilt carb on it. Not org to the motor. It looks like a older weber 2 barrel.

Have done anything related to the points yet? Sounds as though you are at least partially through a 12V conversion? At what point during the 12V conversation have you noticed the back firing? 
 

Valves set? Compression test results acquired yet?

You can never go wrong with cleaning ALL the ground wires,hot wires, and contact areas on an old car that has been sitting.

Acquired the car with a partial 12v swap with some kind of harness and random wiring. I have a Speedway 14 Circuit to go back in it so I can't answer this one. And havent checked anything on the motor in detail yet. It decided to come a blizzard here so I'm avoiding the ice chest of a garage.

your at the right place for help. good luck

Yea it is bagged on all 4 corners with a 6in c notch in rear. It would put the rockers on the ground if not for the big wheels, which I cant wait to get rid of.

Plan to do this when i start installing the new harness.  Some one did just enough to get it driveable on 12v then I got it.
