Backfiring Under Load often indicates a problem in electrical/ignition/timing.

Culprits include:
Insufficient point gap (should be set at .018 to .020)

Timing

Bad condenser

Bad distributor body

Frayed wire between upper plate and lower plate on the distributor

Intermittent connection of the ignition switch
