CFI REBUILD PROBLEMS

Well im back with the same problem still. i rebuilt my 82 305 cfi and it wont stop back firing. i changed the cam lifter rockers push rods springs. i thought there might be a problem with the lifters so i changed them again and checked the cam. nothing wrong with it. from time to time it will back fire in park but when im driving it it will back fire and sometimes die after it. the tach also goes all over the place after a certain rpm. i think that may be because of the new cam. any help will be awesome.
