Verify you didn't get plug wires in the wrong places around the dist cap.
Gotta follow firing order not numerical order

Re: back firing
The order was correct. It was exactly the same as it had always been. I made sure. Checked to make sure they were pluged in all the way everything. It didn happen tho til the tps was correctly installed and calibrated

Was it having problems before you installed the ignition parts?
EDIT: What year/model/engine is your car?

Replaced plugs and wires. Have checked the firing order and made sure everything was seated properly. Then replaced tps. Calibrated it to .5v at idle and 4.5v at wot. Was doing fine then hit 5000rpms it backfired. Now it stalls rite after start and backfires the whole time.

NOt sure how your engine swap was wired up....
Crank position sensor (CKP) is inside the distributor....The sensor on the front of the crank was used for misfire detection (crankshaft fluctuation sensor or CKF sensor) and I don't think it affects running.
Check engine light on? Codes?
Recheck inside dist cap--rotor came loose maybe? Moisture in the cap? Arc trails? Cracked cap?
You say it backfires and dies at idle....Does it run above idle?
