Might want to go back and recheck the valve clearance. Always a good idea to reset them after initial start up. Be a good time to retorque the head bolts (before setting the lifters).
Could the clacking and popping be an exhaust manifold leak? They can make some strange noises!
When you were working on the distributor, did you check the function of the centrifugal advance, and the vacuum advance (if equipped)?
Is the popping you mention coming from the carb, as in a cough or backfire on acceleration? That can be a sign of too lean or a problem with the accelerator pump. Also check for vacuum leaks.

Spark knock, kicking back when trying to start are signs of too much advance. Carb backfire, sluggish performance are evidence of slow timing.
