Hi Joe, You didn't give us all this info when you first posted. Have you ran a compression
check on all cylinders? Sounds like something may
have occurred in the engine when it backfire and quit. Did the distributor point to No1 when you
brought the engine up on the compression stroke?
Those plug wires have to go in the right sequence
on the dist. cap. As the rotor turns CW your next plug to fire is 3, then 4, then 2. You can set those valves by cranking that engine over until No1 is on the compression stroke. Use your thumb. Both valves are closed on No1 cylinder
and the valves can be adjusted to .017" cold.
Watch the rotor as you turn the engine until the rotor points to No3, then set valves to .017",
then do 4, then 2. Do that compression check
and post the results. Hal
