Either the distrbutor cap is cracked or broken or the plug wires are not in the correct firing order or the drive for the distributer is partially broke or the valve train is to tight.

What will cause a 1985 Chevy Celebrity to backfire checked timing compression both good vacuum gauge indicates valve timing out but heard flat cam and burnt valves or is it a timing set?
Since the compression is good I would not expect it to be a burnt valve. It could be timing if the timing chain has excess play. I would also check the ignition module and the engine control module. We had a 1986 Chevy Celebrity that had an ignition problem that cause it to run badly and backfire. The service engine soon light was blinking but not posting a code. We changed the engine control module and it fixed the problem.
