Welcome to here Mr. Hadd!
I think Rick's stators are OK. I'd buy them direct from them so the warranty is simple, if needed.

Those old coils develop a few issues that degrade their performance. They weren't all that good to begin with.
The HV contacts corrode and might even rot off altogether. The cases also get cracks, an ... |

Those should be ok. Ideally, the inside #4 exhaust is a bit snug and could be a half size thinner shim.
Here's some info about half sizes:

| A head/header gasket leak is worth investigating if it's a pipe afterburn type backfire on closed throttle. Those donut gaskets can be tricky to seal. |

Since these slides are operated by ... |

Make sure the carbs are fully seated in the insulators. It's a common issue that they don't get fitted all the way in, then leak.
Make sure that you have the carbs fully seated, the rail that holds ... |

The backfiring could be from a header leak or l ... |
