Where is it blowing out? At the head flange? If so Remflex.
i do not know where it is leaking .but when i let off the gas while driving it bubbles and backfires. so a gasket
known as remflex is one.
Replacing manifold gaskets won't do any good unless the exhaust leak is actually found.
In terms of "bubbles and backfires", is that out the carb or popping out the exhaust? If backfiring up thru the carb, then fuel is igniting when an intake valve is open so it could be a timing/vacuum issue.
If out the tail pipes, check your timing or dial it back to the factory recommended setting. Doesn't cost anything except a few minutes of your time.
Use a long tube of vacuum or fuel hose. Put one end in your ear and the other use as a probe running it along the manifold where it meets the head. It is very distinct when you find it, you will hear it loud and clear.
