Intake backfire. Hard start became no start 1979 245 200 1979

One stuck valve would explain the backfire.

I'd suspect valve-deposits though. Those are more likely to happen and can seem not to have an effect on the car's running.


Cold means it needs a richer mixture, and if you have vacuum/intake leaks, you won't get a rich mixture like you need.
