I agree with Oak, the only time the carb'd Chevys I played with as a kid would backfire, the timing was off. The carb was never to blame.

Those car rebuild TV shows always mis-time there new engines to get flames out of the carb for "drama" when they install a new engine! Will they get the car done before the deadline??!! Go to commercial
.

It is easy to mis-time the cam, that would be my next item to look at.........
