One more update and more confusion.
I had pulled all of the plugs early yesterday (around 11am). The plugs sat out overnight as did the engine. No plugs installed.
This morning just in preparation for the new coil coming in, I put all of the plugs back in. I was 100% sure she would start and she did. Started right up, pumped the throttle a bit and kept her running for 3 mins or so, pulled the throttle handle out a bit and let her high idle. I sat here and just watched. She ran for a few more minutes then it started surging and getting worse and popping and eventually shut off.
Tried to start her again and nothing. Just round and round.
I have been restoring cars all my life and this mystery really baffles me.
