Induction, (backfire through the intake), can be caused by incorrect valve timing, incorrect ignition timing, excessively lean fuel mixture, or incorrect secondary ignition wiring. Check the easy stuff first: ignition timing, plug wires correctly in the distributor cap, (firing order), and fuel pressure.

Behind the carpet, under the glove box, next to the firewall, there is a single wire with a connector, unplug it and check ignition timing with a timing light. Sticker under the hood should give the spec.
