Did you check out the used distributor before putting it in?
As in pulling the point plate out, removing the cam and freeing up the weights, looking at the springs to see if they're rusted or broke, checking the bushings, lube everything?
If there is wear in the bushings the points will not stay set, and they may change under different RPM ranges. I hate points anyway, pointless conversions are more forgiving of worn distributor bushings. Hint, hint...
The wiring, I assume you're talking about the plug wires? If it's close enough to run, just pull them one at a time and see if they're right, but if 2 were crossed, I doubt it would run at all. How's your wires, cap and rotor? Sometimes disturbing old wires will finish them off.
As far as timing, I'm guilty as a lot are of just finding the sweet spot. Backfiring is a sign of retarded timing. Using a timing light is a lot safer way.
