I set it to TDC with BB and its pointing slightly advanced of number 1 cylinder.[i][/i]

This is beginning to drive me crazy. The car runs like a clock, minus this off idle hard throttle backfire.

One of the guys who works for me is beginning to wonder if this problem was why it was parked in '67...
