whats up guys - im trying to start my engine for the first time since installed - backfiring bad from the carb - nothing else

had a shop do the motor work, so pretty sure the dizzy aint in 180 - could it be too advanced? I go counterclockwise to retard, right? Had them install a hei over oe diz n points

anything else it could be? i checked firing order 18436572 (sbc 350)

Gas is about a year old (when the truck was last on the road) but its starting my lawn mower just fine

dont ask me how i figured that out
