6mo is pretty old nowadays with this new junky gas. ethanol loves moisture.
Could be the advance.. IF it stuck again.. however if you lubed it up good.. it probably aint it.
One other guess is could be sticky valves... they will sometimes produce a pop, unless you have a plug not fireing all the time.. or the wrong heat range.. then you can get some pre det.. or detonations in the exhaust.
check the advance and change the plugs and wires, and points and rotor and condensor and cap.. if that don't solve it.. run a couple ounces per gallon of atf flud or 2 cycle oil in your gas and and also add a half quart of MMO or ATF to your crankcase oil.
If you do this.. try a run with only 3 g of gas & add a bottle of carb cleaner to boot.
yes.. she will smoke a bit.. and afterwards you may have to clean your plugs.. but will be usefull as a diagnostic tool. The oil in the gas will also raise the octane.. and if there was pre-det.. it would stop it... most of my fords are the 'old' style 4 cyl flatty and OHV models.
