The timing is not adjustable. Do not turn the distributor.
Is the check engine light coming on?

Re: s-10 backfireing Sign In

you prob have a lean condition in your engine that is enhanced by the load placed on the engine when placing the trans in gear.

check vacuum lines for cracks or breaks. then look at intake gaskets for a leak causing a lean condition
