Welcome to 2CarPros.
Is the back fire through the carburetor or exhaust? Have you checked for vacuum leaks which can cause this? How was the carburetor adjusted?
Here are a couple links you may find helpful:

Also, are you certain that you have all ignition wires to the correct cylinders?
Let me know.
