How long has the fuel been sitting in the vehicle when you bought it?
As far as I know it last ran in December of last year. There isn't very much fuel in the tank because the fuel light is on.
Didn't say if it was backfiring through the exhaust or the carb.
Did you move the distributor while you were changing the pick up coil?
I removed the distributor off the engine and installed the pickup coil on the bench, and I reinstalled the distribuitor so that rotor is just before the #1 position.
Well, now it idled so rough it stalled itself and now I can't get it started. Theres still plenty of spark. I do believe there's a major vacuum leak which I cant seem to locate. Now I have to try to get it started again.
You have some spark now, I would look at the fuel. Put some good gas in it, and maybe a little additive to remove water. Check the fuel pump to make sure it is supplying good pressure.
Things do tend to break when they sit for too long.
