Get it squared away?
So why did it die in the first place?
Old gas? Fuel filter? Fuel pump?
Not positive,but the dead starter was my thought,although it shouln't die because of the starter.
Most likely it was a loose battery cable,by that time,I remember we had just left the pavement,and
were on the gravel section of road,where a pothole could have loosened the bungee ,held down battery.
Does it seem to be ok now?
IT starts easy,but then idles high,and a little rough when driving at low speed,and it had a little backfire through the carb.
If its idling faster than it was could be the timing is better. Could also be a vacuum leak.
Backfire through carb could be a cracked distributor cap.
How did it run before you started working on the distributor?
High idle and backfiring could be timing too advanced as well. After sitting for that long, most likely with e10 gas, probably have plenty of water in the tank. Those old 350s are pretty damn bulletproof though, so some fresh gas, fuel filter, etc should help out. A can of carb cleaner works great for checking for vacuum leaks around the carb base gasket and intake. Just going to take some tinkering.
