That happened to me with my 72 Datsun 1200 (Corolla arch-rival

) even had little faint backfire occasionally

I had the timing wheel mis-positioned. While at TDC, the sensor should be pointed at the tooth which is n teeth counter-clockwise from the missing tooth.

Mine is on the sixth tooth counter-clockwise. I originally tried nine but it didn't run.

the nineth tooth is right for 4 cylinder engines, sixth for 6 cylinder.

maybe you have connected the ignition cables to the wrong cylinders, sounds like its fireing into the intake stroke
