Eric,
Even with the advance flopping around backfiring
during deceleration may not be related.  You might
also want to check/adjust valve clearances and take a
before & after compression check.  Also look at carb
mixture and ensure no vacuum leaks.

Hi all,
wanted to install my Pertronix Ignitor set and found
out, that something is wrong on the mechanical advance
of my distributor. I turned the rotor ccw (i.e. in
running direction) and after letting it loose I was 
astonished that the rotor stayed there instead of
moving back to its former position. After having taken
out the base plate I saw that the po had installed two
completely different springs (those little springs
that pull back the bob weights), from which I think
none is the right one. I guess this explains the
backfiring while decelerating..........
