You might want to check the timing. I saw a Ford pickup with a 302 do that once, pop during an attempted start and what it did was jump time. Drove us knuts trying to figure it out as we did everything to it but paint it green to get it to start. Had to throw in a new cam and chain to get it to start. The timing chain was rotten enough so that a good jolt during an attempted ether start (it was 20 below at the time) was enough to get it to jump time so it would not start. I dont know if your engine has a timing chain but if it does that might be the problem. The distributor might have jumped, too. I don't use ether in anything I care about, either. I have seen too much of what it can do. Plug it in to warm it up and keep it in good tune and you don't need ether. Just my $0.02.
