Thanks Billy, today I spoke with guy in Alabama who mentioned he had a AMC that the distributor 'stator' went bad and popped like this. I asked for more informationa nd he said it is the magnetic thing in distributor like this:

or

 so gives me something else to look at now.

  I had a 1958 Ford 352 cubic inch police interceptor several years back and a 1979 250 cubic inch inline six that spit thru carb when accelorating and both had lobe rounded off of camshaft. I bet that is what the problem is. Both started with no warning before it started spitting.

  Yesterday my wife's 258-6 Eagle started backfiring thru carb. Popping noise. Still runs, 
  but rough, and pop noise. I am sort of stumped on this and have read a variety of answers 
  all over place but carb jets appear to be clean, distributor cap fine although will 
  replace it, have not checked vacuum advance nor timing yet. Any advise appreciated, just 
  reply here & thanks in advance to all who might reply.
