What do you mean when you say "got it back in time"? They do not have adjustable timing. The distributor moves only to adjust the crank sensor/cam sensor correlation to zero degrees. If you rotated it to adjust the timing it is possible that the rotor is actually sending spark to the wrong post giving you a backfire.

Do you have a scan tool to adjust the system back to zero degrees?
