Need more info. What is it doing. What sounds does it make. Does it try to start, but not quite? What wires did you cross at first. You are our eyes and ears.

Did it run before you did this work?
If it did, then you have something not set right. Backfires indicate a firing order/timing issue or a valve sealing issue. If it ran fine before this work, that rules out the valve issue. Perhaps when you were changing the distributor out, you didn't get it timed right. Check your timing and try again.
