Brian,
Backfiring (through the carb) when accelerating is a sign of a lean mixture. Try richening the mixture and check for vacuum leaks (carb base, intake manifold leak, etc.).

I just had a thought... I know that the wires are on
the right plugs in the right sequence.. could I be having backfiring
because the wires are arching? These are brand new wires.. so it seems doubtful. Just trying to figure out whats causing the backfiring.
Could a bad carb cause backfiring?
