The backfire is through the exhaust and is only on the right side. It can be felt as a pretty good blast of air comming out of the side pipe. Crossed plug wires is another possibility as there was a bit of a mixup when installing two of the new wires (good help is sometimes hard to find). When referenced, the firing order on the mallory dist. seemed vastly different from the stock setup in Chilton's diagram. How should I go about verifying? Thanks again for the help.
