The booster vacuum take off is on the aft end of the intake manifold.
I had similar issues right when I started up my BJ8 project for the first
time. Turns out I had swapped #2 and #4 plug wires in the cap when I made
new ones.
Swapped them to correct, the car fires right up and idles beautifully, no
backfiring at all thru the carbs.
I had reset the valves and adjusted the timing by ear to a few degrees
advanced.
