When I let my 85 2.8 idle there is this random sound like someone thumping there finger on a plastic bucket. It's a deep thump. When I press on the gas it does the same thing. Also when I let off the throttle my exhaust makes a gurgling sound and at one point has a small backfire sound. Any ideas?

The gurgle and backfire is pure 2.8. A lot of them do that. The thumping sound may be more serious.

Do a compression test to rule out a burnt valve.
