There are signs of life. phew. If you are backfiring, you HAVE spark and fuel. This is combustion happening at the wrong time. You probably have the timing 180 degrees off if your marks are lined up correctly. When you set the crank pulley, did you check to see that the #1 piston was on the compression stroke? There are 2 upward strokes only 1 makes compression. Or did you line up the marks and put everything together? If so you may have found your problem. At least I hope so, it's been 3 pages already this car should be out laying rubber!
