If the specs say 1243 that's what it it. Are you sure you have the correct distributor rotation? Did you actually look at it? Are you sure you have the distribution correctly rough timed... rotor pointing at #1 on the cap when both valves on #1 are closed (piston at TDC)? Are you sure you have the points set correctly? Not knowing the history of the engine... "backfiring" is a meaningless term. Is it an intake backfire or exhaust backfire? They have different causes. Did you fool with the carburetor at all? Have you pulled the plugs to see if they are getting wet with gas? Have you done a compression test? Did you fool with the cam/valve timing? Is the valve lash set correctly? Engines are pretty simple beasts. All they need is compression, a properly timed valve train, a properly timed spark, and fuel. As far as fuel goes, the righer the better until you can get it to run then you can play with mixture but if you start it too lean you'll be putting pistons in it.
