Backfires through carb

77 Ford van 351W

Starts fine, idles fine, drives fine for 30 to 45 minutes. Then, when stopped, begins to idle rough. Taking off produces popping through the carb. Then as car is driven popping continues intermittently.

Have replaced plugs, ditributer and rotor, fule filter, PCV valve, fuel pump. Car passed emmission test when taken in before the 30 to 45 minutes went by.
