rough start yesterday

So yesterday when I was leaving work my car did not want to turn on. It would crank but not turn over. After quite a few attempts and push on the gas quite a bit I finally got it to turn over but it was pretty rough and smoke came out the back a bit too. I let it idle for a minute before I took off on the road but once it got going it smoothed out to normal.

Now, the previous owner installed a killswitch. I hit a button in the dash to turn on the fuel pump then I turn key to start my car, and hit the button again to turn it off when I turn the car off. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with what happened yesterday but I'm sure its good information to have.

The car hasn't given me any problems since I got it a couple weeks ago, it just started yesterday out of nowhere. It also failed NJ inspection on Friday due to too high of readings and I have a leak at my rear stationary o ring which I think is my diff?

85 12A carbed by the way.
