Default What things to check next

I'm not expecting any miracles, but a few probable culprits would be appreciated. The front end on my stang has been torn apart for a while pending funds to finish my granada brake swap. I have been starting it about once a week ever since I tore it apart. Then all of a sudden it started running real crappy the last time I started it until it finally died and now won't re-start. I'm getting gas to the carb, spark to the distributor, and the plugs look OK. I also checked spark to cylinders 1 and 2 and I'm getting spark there. I have an MSD 6AL with MSD distributor on a 302 crate motor. I did all the basic gas and spark checks so I would like some direction on where to go from here. I was thinking either the MSD box is bad or the timing chain malfunctioned the last time I started it. Any help would be great.

Oh yeah, it did backfire the last time I started it so could it possibly be damage to the carb.
