Help answer this question below.

Anybody know anything about truck backfire?

I have a 93 bronco, 302, 5.0 liter. Whenever I accelerate allot, as in put the pedal to the floor, it back fires.
You hear a big bang, almost sounds like its coming from the exhaust.
I looked at the muffler while someone gunned it, and you can see a little flame coming out.
Is that normal? Ive been driving it like this for a couple months.

    In case you didn't know, backfiring occurs when unburned gas makes it to the tailpipe where the heat ignites the gas fumes causing an explosion.
