The backfire may be caused by one of the following: Lean mixture.

Leaky or sticking intake valve or
a weak or broken intake valve
spring.

Bad distributor cap.

Intermittent short circuit in
primary or a short circuit in
the coil or in secondary wire
from coil to distributor. (Any of
these will cause a loud muffler
explosion.)

Hope this is of some help to you. Good luck, Duke-69/912.
