360 Engine cranks but won't start

plug your coil in... that might help. LOL

That was an in-between picture. I was trying to see if it was the coil that was the problem. I hooked up the new one and got backfire. I did not have backfire with the old one. But the bottom of the new one looked like the inards were about to shoot through the bottom! That worries me. But needless to say the picture was taken afterwards. I had it on there when I tried to start it.
