Default My 420a still won't start?

It cranks & then it will backfire out of the intake, but thats all i can get out of the car,
last time i posted on here everyone told me it was the timing, My new question is what should the cams be set at? they are crower stage 3 cams, with unorthadox adjustable cam gears, everyting lines up like it suppose to timing wise, so now im thinking maybe the cams are off? I have the abilitly to advance them 10 degrees or retard the 10 degrees? can any one recomend what they should be set at?

All the timing marks should be lined up. If all of them are lined up, then i cant imagine what is going wrong.

try to retard the cams a little bit, it sounds like it is mixing too much gas in and stalling out.

The only reason for backfiring through the intake is timing...

Is it possible that the crank/cams are 180 degrees off.
