I know you say the distributor is right, but based on my first fire problems a month or so ago first double check your firing order at the distributor, and then be sure you're not one tooth off on aligning your distributor with the cam gear. It sure sounds like a basic advanced timing issue if it's popping back through the carb, or a couple of plug wires swapped.
