Could also be a timing problem.
Also, in a 22R that old the EGR passages could be clogged, from the valve all the way into the intake manifold. I've had mine completely blocked solid with carbon.
Since my original post I've discovered that at least part of the problem is a damaged Auxiliary Accelerator Pump diaphragm. I disconnected the vacuum hose and plugged it. Aside from it being hard to start the backfire is gone. It's only a temporary fix. I'll have to change the diaphragm to make sure that's the problem.
