engine misfire question

i have a 69 step w/ a 327...HEI timing set to 8 deg. btdc...bosch +4 plugs...and a Holley carb.

My question is...under hard accel...usually around 3500 - 4000 rpm...there is a backfire coming from the motor...hard to tell if its in the exhaust or exactly where....what would be the most likely cause for this...thanks.Ken

If it only happens under acceleration, I would say your carb's set too lean. Fuel starvation will cause a miss (not a backfire, though) under acceleration. Mine was missing under load and it was the fuel settings.
