You really need to get a points distributor and get that thing broke in. The endless cranking is not good on that cam assuming its a flat tappet. Have you checked to make sure your getting fire on all 8 wires? Still sound like your 180 out to me if the firing order is correct.Valdosta, GA haha come on down

Would a new distributor make a difference? All 8 wires are sparking, 100% not 180 out. Made absolutely sure it was correct.You really need to get a points distributor and get that thing broke in.

The only thing that would make it backfire out the carb is its firing with the intake valve open. So either the timing is way off or your valves are stuck open. If the msd is messing up the timing then a points dissy would solve it because you can just hot wire it and run the dissy and coil straight off the battery no msd box! Then you know your timing is straight off the dissy no msd in the equation.Would a new distributor make a difference? All 8 wires are sparking, 100% not 180 out. Made absolutely sure it was correct.
Too far advanced will pop out the carb...as well a non sealing intake valve or like you said.. firing with an open intake valve.The only thing that would make it backfire out the carb is its firing with the intake valve open.

Umm... if that pic is your current setup, you're 180* off.Pics from now, #1 TDC +- a bit
Distributor pointed toward #1
not 180 out

Yeah it might take some cleaning of the plugs after trying so many time 180 off.how so? Because I followed the directions given by everyone on setting it so far, and even if I am, I have tried both ways and it still doesn’t work.
If you look at the cap it appears "he might" have it wired correctly for were the rotor is pointing. IE no1 at the rear??Yeah it might take some cleaning of the plugs after trying so many time 180 off.
People need to understand that its NOT THE ROTOR YOU WANT POINTING AT THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE INTAKE BOLT... ITS THE SLOT ORIENTATION THEYRE TALKING ABOUT. POINT THE DRIVE SLOT AT FRONT DRIVER INTAKE BOLT....SO IT CAN BE 1 OR 6 AND THATS IT...AND THAT MEANS 'ON OR 180 OUT' POINTING AT ONE.. IF IT WERE ONE... IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY FIRED AT TDC AND BE ONTO ANOTHER CYLINDER... UNDERSTAND THAT.
HOLY DISTRIBUTOR CAP batboy!!Could you confirm what you have for a distributor cap. Just incase it's not one of those "correct-a-cap" things with internal routing for left bank/ right bank set up.
Having worked all day, trying every suggested fix. It is still not working. Continuing to backfire through the carb. We have changed carbs, distributors, wiring, troubleshot the msd box, checked all 8 spark wires for spark, coil wire has spark, moved plug wire positions, rotated 180 then back 180 multiple times. Set initial timing, adjusted valves, you name it, we spent 8 hours doing it. Thanks for all your help fellas, but I am out of ideas.
From what the pics show, here are my observations.Pics from now, #1 TDC +- a bit
