1972 Chevy Monte Carlo V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

ive got a 72 monte carlo and my friend and i just put a new distributor in but for some reason the car keeps backfiring it doesnt start the greatest either, it did with the old distributor, the only time i can get it to start with this new distributor is if i keep pumping on the gas but it idles really slow and then dies if i take my foot off the gas i think it may be the ammount of fuel going to the motor but its a 750cfm 4 barrel carb and we've tried tuning the carb so it'll stop but it just doesnt

Firing order could be off or you didn't set the distributor correctly and throwing off the ignition timing or didn't set the contact point if its a conventional distributor
