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.

Subject: Re: IML:
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.
