It looks like a mid 60's horn rim

I don't see that you mentioned checking the timing. Hard starting when engine is cold could be timing if spark and fuel are otherwise present and accounted for. Verified choke is operating properly? not sure if that has a choke pull-off... last thought, confirm fuel rated hoses. regular...

Thanks guys, drove it home Friday 2 hrs without incident. previous owner removed the wiper motor due to the dreaded common issue, but unless hidden in the car somewhere they lost the pivot arm that connects it to the trans, found-em on fleabay although a little pricy.

I would pull the bulk head apart and check all connections there, also mine was doing searthat very same thing, 68 300 with 440, and I found the point set was defective. The plastic piece that holds wires and the contacts spring all together was loose causing point gap to close. I put on anew...

well, that's just awful
