It was not until those fleeing had rammed a police car and then tried to run over another cop that they opened fire.

Needed killing. Got killed.

If the vehicle was running so badly that it was backfiring, it doesn’t seem likely that it would be able to keep ahead of modern, presumably well-maintained cop cars for 22 miles.
Especially if that car had the old 229 CI V-6, or the early 305 (5liter) V8 with the "soft" camshaft. They couldn't get out of their own way, let alone outrun a late model cop car.

"That was fascinating information. Thank you. All this technology is slightly before my time, and it is very interesting. I am learning about this archaic concept called “vapor lock” right now. I don’t think vapor lock is even possible in a modern car. Thoughts?

No "vapor lock" is not prevalent in modern car motors because of the advanced fuel systems. Back when, if the fuel line got over-heated (fuel line against manifold, etc) it would turn the fuel into a gas, which would cause a gap from the fuel line to the carburetor and deprive the carb of fuel and stall the motor. That's why I have clips on my fuel lines in my 58 Chevy to keep them from touching my intake manifold.
