Default Backfire on a down grade

In my trip this afternoon one leg was 1 1/2 miles down a continuous 5-12% very crooked grade. With the spark advance at ~ max I kept the car in 4th (5 speed) to limit the braking, and experienced several backfires. Is there some tweaking of the advance that will eliminate, or minimize the backfiring?
