Backfiring is a quick way of telling through the carburetor. Bring your timing mark to top dead center on the balance mark and check #1 wire to the disturber with the cap removed and check to see how the rotor lines up. To reposition the distributer, remove the hold down bolt, pull the distribute part way up and rotate the rotor and shaft 180 degrees and dropped the distributer back in position, lock the retainer bolt down, secure the cap and go for a restart. With the engine now running, check for correct settings.

It's not 180 out, and having owned 2 different 283-powerglide impalas, you'll be lucky to spin em' on wet laves.

If your car is 180 degrees out it won't run period. Your engine will spin over, but will never start.

It wouldn't even attempt to run. The spark would be firing when the piston was at the bottom.
