Backfireing under load points to plug wires, cap, rotor, coil, or on later engines a coil pack. I have not been under the hood of an '85 in a while so I can't help with describing by location. You may want to check a Haynes or Chiltons manual at a parts store. It does sound like you are having fuel/air ratio issues which could be the smog pump. Good luck.
