1983 244GL died at stop, won't restart, backfires instead 200 1983

So I fired my car up this morning, drove 1/4 mile, and it died at a stop sign. Then it restarted, i put it in gear, and it died again. Now, i try to start it, it seems as if it's getting no fuel because it's not even close to starting, and it backfires LOUDLY. every attempt afterward: no start, backfires..

In the last week, however, my car has been acting funny. I have noticed some valve clatter at moderate accel, but goes away at harder accel. and when I start my car, hot or cold, it has been settleing at a lower rpm than usual and idling poorer than it used too..

new plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor, fuel pump

wha happen???
