Backfiring USUALLY is a symptom of a timing disorder. Do you have the plug wires hooked up to proper sequence for timely delivery of spark. Definitely will backfire is not correct.
Other reasons for backfire are numerous, like valves clearance not right; running out of fuel in cylinders; intermittent spark delivery ; faulty condenser; distributor not set correctly, and on.....
Make a list and check each one off as you proceed to analyze.
