Sounds like not all the fuel is being burned and dumping into the exhaust making the backfire. Considering the car sat for a year, you might have to run through that tank you have in and put some good quality gas in it for the next couple of tanks or a fuel system cleaner if you're not getting a CEL anymore.

As for the throttle cable, you may have to replace it. I carb cars, there was an adjustable screw where you could tighten up the plate where the cable attached and that in turn adjusted the tension on the cable, but that was crap from the 80's. t cable replacement (on 80's and earlier crap) wasnt hard at all and the cable was surprisingly cheap.
