Driver side exhaust sounds great....but the passenger side exhaust has a tinny popping or hissing sound. Checked spark, that's ok....all header pipes getting hot. Could it be timing? loose rocker arm?? I don't have any ideas. Anyone have any input? I am running a Carb and have a 393.

I would re-check the header bolts.

Get a mirror on a stick so you can look under each exhaust port. If you see any darkening that's an indication of a leak.

Lucky...it is common for the header bolts to back out. It can make a variety of sounds and can sometime sound like a tapping sound like a loose rocker. It normally takes a few heat cycles for the bolts to stay tight. I always check before a track day or a long trip. SOP for these cars.
