I replaced my intake gaskets, harmonic balancer, timing gear, and dist. I had a degree wheel and piston stops to put the motor at top dead center. The cam was pointing straight down and the balancer was showing to be at 2 degrees btdc. I put the dist back in with #1 towards the back passenger side and put the pointer at one. Timing set at 12 degrees.

It almost sounds like it is backfiring a little when I get to high rpms say above 4k. Did I miss something?
