i have so many placesi havestarted
-ignition
-checked plugs all look good less than 2 monthes old
-checked wires all on good less than 2 monthes old
- checked rotor looked good

carb
- well aint much to adjust since the pos is comp controlled
- thought it might be becuase of rear flaps not opening adjusted and no change
- made sure all electrical conections were good
-checked vacumes to carb all goood

vacume line
- was up and down them no cracks breaks or leaks
- just replace cracked weather worn and brokenabout 2 monthes ago

Backfiring thru the carb indicates the intake valve(s) aren't completely shut during combustion for whatever reason.
I doubt a wiped cam is the problem.
A bad intake valve or weak valve springs is possible too. They could be bouncing under high RPM's.
Stretched timing chain is a good possibility too since it gets worst under heavy pressure.
I'd check things out with a timing light first. Then do a compression test.
If you suspect slop in the timing chain test by putting a socket on the bottom pully and see if your getting any movement on the crankshaft that isn't immediatelymoving the camshaft.

Had this issue with an 81 Chev P/U w/305. Pull the passenger side valve cover and look at the valves on the front 2 cylinders and make sure they are opening and closing. The problem with mine was worn cam lobe, which was common on the 305. It was a wornexhaust lobe so the exhaust valve didn't open and there was still pressure left when the intake opened causing the pop. Pop wasn't noticeable until opening the throttle a bit. I think you'll find your problem there. If not the pass side then try the drivers side.

Just got a hold of an 87 cutlass with a 350 in it. Set top dead center timing and tried to start it. Keeps popping through the carb no matter how u move the timing.
