Re: '77 Continental Sedan - Coughs back through the carb/no start?
Woo hoo, love those old Lincolns. I have a '77 Mark V, bought 18 years ago. I drove it regularly for 11 years and its absolutely the most reliable car I've ever owned.
Spitting back through the carb indicates late valve timing or bent/burned intake valves.
Have you actually done a compression test and found the readings?
I would say before looking at the valve timing, you do an accurate compression test of all cylinders, at wide open throttle. Also, find TDC on #1 cylinder and time the distributor.
