79 Spitting fire - backfiring

[KEVIN EDDINS <EDDINSK@ncts.nola.navy.mil>]

Great!  Right after I brag about my wife rebuilding the carb, I get the spit
running and it starts backfiring.  It idles fine, but when I accelerate
quickly, it "spits" out of the carburetor.  Is this normal and implied by the
name? :)   

I can only think that it will backfire (out the carb) upon pre-ignition.  I will
check the timing as soon as possible.  I've adjusted the mixture in haste,
with no success.

Any help that would fix it and save me from buying a Weber book is
appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin
