I'm guessing ignition timing.

But, it'd be good to know if it back fires out the exhaust, or the intake. I'm guessing intake, as that's more likely under accelleration.

Loosen that 7/16 bolt that clamps the distributor just a bit, start the car, and rotate distributor until idle smooths out. Test drive. Repeat, until it's happy.

Could be the advance mechanism isn't functioning properly.
