New motor backfiring through carb

Doog #3 ---- "I pulled the distributor to prime the pump"

Doog #14 ----"I put the intermediate shaft in to get the distributor to sit in ….."

Doog #22 ----- "I also actually never did remove the distributor during the installation"

Could someone decode this? ----------- Or is this just Washington speak?

Yea I’ll decode it for you. I didn’t remove the distributor during the installation of the engine. I removed it to prime the oil pump. Someone was suggesting that I may have taken it out and put it in before marking it.
