By the description I'll guess what you're experiencing is a "backfire". This happens when the timing in the engine is off for whatever reason. When this happens the intake valve is not yet closed when the spark plug fires. The air/fuel mixture is ignited and the burning / expanding mixture goes back up the intake manifold to the carburetor with a loud bang.
Inspect and clean your distributor and give your ignition system the once over. Set your timing and it should take care of the problem. If not then the engine has other issues that are more involved to go over here.
