. That's what it sounds like I would have the carb rebuilder have another go at it or find a new one.

There are two on a tunnel ram. Twice the opportunity for a slight boo boo.

The thing is that the backfire isn't a lean pop. It's a loud bang with 6" of flame shooting out. To me thats unburnt fuel getting into the header and burning.

The other thing is that its rhythmic. If I wasn't standing in front of it and checked the firing order maybe 5-6 times myself, I would bet it was a crossed plug wire, but its not.

Hal is bringing over a ready-to-run distributor today and they are gunna give it a go. If it still does it after that, I'm starting to wonder if the timing chain went bad.

Also, its a MSD 6a box, no rev chip in it.

So the grounds were good and the pickup wires didn't get reversed?

I was sure that was a possibility.

It could be cross talking, but with two different caps, rotors and wires. It sort of all but eliminates it.

I would eliminate fuel stuff first. But trying the distributor cannot hurt.

Is it possibly  the swapped firing order? I forget what cylinders they swap but maybe thats it. Or  is it jumping spark. In the wires?

Popping out exhaust, cyl is firing with exhaust valve partially open. Pull one plug wire at a time when the popping stops you will know what cylinders are causing the problem. Sounds like incorrect firing order.

not trying to be rude, but we checked the firing order a million times as stated above.

If I had not even checked it myself several times, I would agree with you.

X2 on pulling the valve covers.

Could you put a timing light on each wire to verify each cylinder is consistently firing?
