70 440 6 pack RR - backfiring
 

I finally made a deal after the owner dropped his price dramatically.What would cause it to backfire?- bad plugs,crossed spark plug wires,timing,carb adjustments - anything thing else I may have missed? Help greatly appreciated.Thks Bob

If the original system, a bad coil can cause this..
Even bad gas too!.
What color is it, pics...Canadian car?.
