Default Re: engine won't fire up?

The only other thing it could be is timing. If you moved it one way, maybe move it a little the other way. Backfiring thru the exhaust means an exhaust valve is open when the plug is firing. Turn the engine over to #1 TDC pop distributor cap, look at where the rotor is pointing, probably not at #1. Get the rotor and #1 lined up and it should fire, then set your timing
