In that last ten miles all was well except for the sudden loss of power and backfire (times 3)?
If so, were you cruising at a constant RPM or did you give it some beans when it did a face plant?
If all was well, I lean towards the distributor. If it ran like crap that last ten miles, I lean towards a significant vacuum leak.
I have not experienced a distributor/cap failure. First hand experience (as noted above) carries a lot of weight.
