I have a 70 coronet. 383 4 speed. headers. I have owned the car for 13 years. Drive it in the summers. I took it out last week for a 50 mile ride. Perfect. Yesterday I started it in my garage and I started it and heard a big backfire. I restarted it, it ran rough for a bit and then it seemed fine.
I took it out of the garage and parked it. I started it again about an hour later and went out for ice cream. It stalled going down the road. I restarted it while coasting and heard another loud backfire. I am not sure if it stalled or not, but I coasted into a lot. It would not start so I had it towed home.
When I got home I put an inline spark plug tester to see if I was getting spark and it started rough. I took off the tester and restarted it but it ran rough.
This morning I started it as normal and it ran rough again then stalled. I tried to immediately restart it but it would not start.
Where should I start looking? There is no way the timing chain could have jumped is there?
Thanks
