I would suggest having a look at the fuel filter. You probably pulled a bunch of rust out of the tank & into the rest of the fuel system. Dump the fuel out of the back end of the filter & see if there is rusty looking fuel & or rust particles.

      Another possibility though more remote is that it may have jump time. I know this is fairly common on the 440 cars that have nylon timing gears. With a loose chain & already worn gears, opening it up one more time may be all it takes to strip these. With this condition, it may not want to start at all & run hot & backfire.

Most likely, ignition is the problem.  Check that all you plug wires are tight,
both on the plug end and on the distributor.  I have had plug wires come off
the plug before, if not pushed in properly.  If this checks out OK, you may
have to look at your points settings, or inspect them and see if they are burnt
up or something.

One of the questions to ask is why did this happen after your "high speed" run
(high speed in qutotation because that's not too high).  What had happened to
me once was that one of the heater hoses had a minute leak, and when the car
got hot and the coolant pressurized, it would spray water on the distributor
and temporarily mess up the ignition.  Once the car sat for a while, the water
evaporated and the car ran fine.  What was worse was that at idle, it did not
do it, so there was no way for me to see it.  Somebody else saw it when I was
reving the engine from the inside.  Look at this before messing with the
points.
