Just a few guesses:

Maybe the plug wire is arcing to something. That would sorta sound like popcorn. Try looking under the hood at night with no lights and watch for an arc.

If you are pushing down on the plug wire at the distributor (not the spark plug) it could be the rotor hitting one or more of the terminal post on the distributor cap.
