If you have the correct firing order on a 302 why is it still backfiring through the carburetor?

I'm sure you have one of the wires crossed or your distributor is in 180 degresse backwards
- sound like you have it timed on the exhaust and not the compression - or 180 degrees off. Get it to TDC, rotor on the #1 plug wire, and go from there.

Why a 1979 Chevy 350 keeps back firing through the carburetor if the firing order is correct?
You are bad out of time, or maybe you have wired the wires in the wrong rotation. It should be clockwise rotation. Check to see if you have wired it correctly, also if you have removed the distributor and reinstalled it you may be out of time.

Because the spark plug must fire when the piston is at top dead centre of a compression stroke. If the plug fires when the piston is at any other position then you get backfiring etc and no start. The correct firing order ensures the plugs fire at the right time.

1997 Chevy Venture is backfiring?
Backfiring generally indicates a timing problem. The sparkplugs are firing a little too late for some reason and that lets the explosion come out through the tail pipe instead of staying in the combustion chamber. It could be as simple as a cracked distributor cap allowing the spark to jump across the moisture. Or it could be more serious.
