The possible reasons why your 1979 620 Datsun may backfire pass 4000 RPM's may be because because either, you need to replace the fuel filter, clean the fuel injectors, run supreme gas( due to age of the car), replace spark plugs, ignition coil may be disconnected, ignition rotor may be scarred (about a $5.00 part)and need to be replaced, replace pcv valve ,replace air filter or timing may be off. See available supplemental information regarding engine diagnosis at related link.
a backfire is caused by incorrect timing or not enough back pressure in the exhaust pipe
Good luck!! There may not be a box big enough for a real car.
It could have to do with the fuel mix or your exhaust might not have enough back pressure, i.e. too short, or not enough muffling.

sometimes yes and sometimes no (mostly yes).
If you are running at high rpms and turn the key off the unburned fuel will be pumped from the cylinders in the engine into the muffler. The muffler is still hot enough to ignite the unburned fuel.
Adjust the timing. Backfiring is usually a sign that the car needs a tune up. The timing can be a big factor. Check the timing belt to see if it has jumped a tooth or two. If so, this is the reason why it would backfire. You also might want to check the tension pulleys to see if they are too tight or not tight enough.

Sometimes.... it depends on the situation.
sometimes it will boil if it is hot enough
