Ignition timing, improper firing order, to lean of fuel mixture, are some of the other issues that will cause backfiring through the intake.

Well I am both sad and delighted to report that she is now running. I found the problem. It was me. I am the problem. I installed the distributor backwards. Thank you everyone for your experience and assistance.
glad you beat it
its definitely something ive done before
Those that never make a mistake are never doing anything. We've all been there, done that. The best lessons for me are the most painful, makes it kind of hard to forget. I worked with a guy once that when he stabbed a distributor 180° out he just modified the rotor to fit. Could not convince him otherwise. I did not envy the next person to have to change the distributor rotor, and try to figure out why it wouldn't run. Glad yours worked out
Holy mackerel! I would have never thought to mode the rotor cap! I just reclocked the distributor. Silly me. Yes we have all done it. Hopefully you only make that mistake once.
