Also, if I give it a little gas, it backfires in the exhaust and cannot pick up much rpms.

Is it possible that my distributor is one gear tooth off? Would one tooth cause the advance to shift by 35 degrees? If that is the case, it will be an easy fix.
Typically occurs when the green wire connection is reversed.
