i bet you any money you have had the throttle plates swapped from a volvo one and these do not have the poppet valves fitted so on the over-run the engine overfuels.
   
  try seating the brass screws, then unscrewing the 2 nearest the W pipe 12 flats (2 turns). Then, run the engine to normal temperature then unscrew the back one (nearest the metering flap) open until the engine revs just increase then back it off 1.5 flats. This should give more air bypass round the throttle plate instead of just through the idle speed motor. Give it a go, this is how I set the engines so that the idle oscillation is minimised.
   
  Glad your car didn't go up in flames!

luckilly.

Timing adjustment hasnt got rid of the backfiring and flames, but 
there is another theory that will be explored (Rich can explain 
better then me).

As for the suntan.....yes coming on a treat (despite being Mrs Radish 
Head last night) and no I'm not gonna show you my 'white bits' lol :o)
