The good news is I got the 318 poly running! The fault turned out to be the condenser in the distributor. I put a different condenser in and the engine fired right and stayed running. :) Thanks for all the help! The bad news is I then noticed a leak in the front of the 1962's radiator. Looks like clumsy me must have bumped into the radiator while it was sitting against the garage wall and knocked a tiny hole in one of the radiator tubes. DUH! The leak is small enough I could try a radiator sealer treatment. But the radiator is original as far as I know, so it may be time to see if it can get it redone.
