You are most likely having a coil on plug (c.o.p.) misfire - there are 8 in your engine.

95 thunderbird backfiring through air intake

Something like this is often a stuck or poorly sealing valve. A Vacuum gauge is the least obtrusive way to notice vacuum changes. If a cylinder fails to seal, vacuum will reflect the loss of compression and it will result in a bounce on the meter.

1994 gmc backfires when i give it gas

Backfiring occurs when uncombusted gasoline gets into the muffler. You will have to figure out if the engine is flooding and why (can be a lot of things - poor ignition, problem with fuel pressure regulator or an injector, vacuum leak, etc.). Existing trouble codes (DTCs) will help you diagnose the problem.

Missing and backfiring during acceleration and climbing hills.

Could be vapor lock in the fuel system. Next time it does this, stop and try removing the fuel filler cap... Hope this helps...;-)
