It did back fire but sure can't be timing. I did not pull the distributor after the last trip to the track. Visually, the vacuum advance looks like it's rightand bumping the car to TDC and checking the "points" location says that is good. Plugs were dry as a bone when we checked them since we were concerned itflooded. Electrodes were about the same color (in fading sun light) as whenthey came out of the box. The car has no choke.
