backfire?

Hi everyone,

So I'm still new to the 914 scene and I'm still learning how to fix it! Currently my issue is with starting. When cranking the engine, it seems as if I'm getting a backfire through the intake? I read that the distributor could be incorrectly installed, but won't it only go in one way? I also read that it could be a timing issue, but don't you have to have the engine running to set the timing?

I appreciate your assistance and patience. I posted this on 914 world as well, but thought I'd post it here because the more help I can get the better!

Thank you!

Steven
