Sometimes it is a lean condition. Easy to check and it is reversible. Try richening up the idle mixture just a touch. If it is a standard Holley style carb, turn all (2 or 4) idle screws counter clockwise by 1/8 of a turn. If that doesn't fix the popping on decel, put them back where they were and work on the pipes.
