Retarding the timing did the trick. I turned the distributor untill the idle roughed up a bit and re-adjusted the idle and idle mixture. I put a timing light on it and couldn't it read very well . I need to put a paint mark on the 6-8 degree mark so it stands out. Total timing reads about 34-36 degree's.
Cranks up fine now. no backfiring!
Now I am wondering if I damage the pistons from having so much advance in the timing. Couldn't hear any pinging before but it did get a little flat in the upper RPM's.
