I think i found the problem, only time will tell, yes? 1982 ford mercury brougham?

My car would start ok when cold, but when hot, it would not start. After a cooling period, it would start. I could cross the starter soliniod and it would crank, but not start. Research suggests that the coil is the problem, with all my symptoms such as… Gutless.using lots of fuel, and not starting when hot, but starting cold. Does this make sense?

Added (1). Also it would jerk when going up a hill

Where can I buy a Ford Police Interceptor?

I just got my license and I need to buy myself a car. And I don't want to bu anything really fancy or expensive, and I heard the crown victoria interceptor is pretty cheap like 1k or 1.5k for a 2004 model. But were do you buy it from?

Car backfires only on one spark plug?

So my ford 390 has a backfire (but only on the drivers side tailpipe…). Except for when I remove spark plug number 6. Doing so makes the backfiring stop. Also, I notice that the exhaust on that side of the engine is cooler and not as loud as the exhaust pipe on the other side. The car idles fine, but when you put it in drive it wants to stall immediately. Reverse makes it idle rough and want to stall as well, but not as bad as putting it in drive. I was planning on rebuilding the car (edlebrock 4 barrel) but am now wondering if the real issue is the misfire, and not so much the carb. What should I do first to try to remedy this? Any thoughts?
