1967 Barracuda 4 Speed 273 back fire issue

I acquired the car from up north and attempted a 16 hour drive to bring her home 8 hours into the trip the car started to back fire and sputter so needless to say she made it home on the back of a 20 foot flat bed.
First thing I noticed was the rotor had a small crack on the tip and the cap also had a crack in it so I replaced them along with the points it did not do much to help the car. Additionally, the dizzy was also way off so I walked the gear to get it pointing to #1, while it was out I noticed the shaft had a cut in it like someone had tried to hacksaw it at some point so I picked up a new distributor. Set the point gap to 17 and she fired up but if I give it gas she dies. Thought it might be a bad carb since the timing was in place so I bought a used 2 barrel carb put it on same thing. After a while the car would not even start so I noticed that the points were fried sanded them down and re-gapped them fires up running ruff though. I remember the PO told me it was running bad and they had changed out the coil thought maybe coil was wrong for the car so I changed it out along with the ballast resistor..no changes.
Now number cyl #1 and 3 are not firing. Car is not idling well at all, but previously I had checked the vacuum and it was not bouncing around much at all and compression while not great is 107 - 94 at worst..
As an additional bonus the starter has a bad bendix system and it has gotten stuck before so much so that you could smell something brewing such that it may have been acting as a secondary alternator possibly frying something since it would not disengage...since then if you turn key off the car will not shut off seems like there is still juice in the terminal only option is to pull the cord from the coil.
The iron lady needs some desperate love atm…open to any ideas on how to mend the relationship.
