Hooking up the HEI direct to the bat [+] terminal was a smart move. Removes any doubt about supply issues.
Any backfire/misfire would THEN likely be caused by the engine out of time [means the dist rotor is pointing at the wrong cylinder segment in the cap ].
It could be other things, but this is the most likely problem when installing a new dist, & needs to be verified before looking elsewhere.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
