timing problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

my 65 C10 has a camaro front clip and I'm guessing the engine is from it as well. It's a regular350 with hei distributor and a q-jet. My current issue is the timing. I've never had it running really good. If I rev it up it backfires through the carb. I pulled the timing cover off to check the chain and there is plenty of slack in it. Before pulling the chain off I'm rotating the enginge to TDC on number one, but my balencer is pointing to 7 or 8 o'clock. Am I doing something wrong?
