Doubt the shippers played a part in this at all, the car sat for 3 months without being driven before it was picked up. Too bad no tools until late June though...

With fuel dumping in and the dieseling . Sounds like you have a rotted rubber fuel line at the tank or rotted steel line along the frame somewhere. It is sucking air and pumping aerated fuel into the carb.
This is a problem I have seen numerous times. Very confusing and hard to diagnose and has nothing to do with what you last worked on or did to the car.
