what happened to my Nissan exalta '01 was, the idle got affected, the rpm goes up and down upto almost even dying and car body shaking as if it couldn't breath, i thought it was a servo/MAF or idle control valve issue, car struggled when coming to a stop or slowing down or during traffic as if it will stall but when at last i found a nice technician after i scout around without any charged checked the alignment of distributor and he found misaligned, he corrected it, made small adjustment on the idle control and it fixed the issue, he said it's like a puzzle, he did not even charge me at all and now the car runs like new :-)

How do you set the timing on a 1981 Cougar XR7 the car is at 4700 feet?

without a timing light or vacuum gauge the easy way is to loosen the hold down clamp on the distributor, start the car, slowly turn the distributor counterclockwise until the engine sounds like it is about to die, then turn the distributor back until the idle returns to a smooth even idle. As a good measure you can manually give it gas at the carb to check for backfire, if no backfire shut the car off, if the car does not chug or diesel when shut off timing should be real close. I use to set mine to idle at about 900 to 950 rpm when I lived at 5000 ft. try using a vacuum gauge and set the timing at 15 to 18

No! A car backfires because unburned fuel is getting to the muffler. The heat of the exhause system causes the fuel to combust, thus a backfire. A bad alternator will just not charge your car battery.
