I ran into a similar problem back in my high school days during the early 60s. A friend bought an ford flathead V-8 it needed a few parts to get it running. My friend aquired a distributor from a mercury flathead. Now this engine would fire up, run a couple of RPMs then quit. Finally with the help of the school shop instructor and the whole class the problem was solved. It was the Merc distributor, with the wrong number of teeth, it would bolt in, seemed to fit, but after a few revolutions it was out of time. I'm sure your problem is something more simple,but this ia an expample of what can happen.
