I also did this same thing a week ago and ran. It seems if you pull distributor and clean it runs for a day or to and refuses to start again but now it's also back fireing thru carb

Pull the distributor and clean it?
Jan 29, 2016 at 1:51 PM
I did and now it cranks and when it does hit it backfires and won't start

Did you actually remove the distributor?

No just cap and rotor

If I was to guess at this I would say you have a cracked distributor cap. You won't necessarily be able to see it even if you know what to look for. I would replace the cap and rotor and verify your firing order.
