That's also the symptom of a failing ignitor (or coil....) inside the distributor.

check the grounds on the thermostat housing. also make sure you battery posts are connected tight. I have done 20 or more swaps(when i had my shop) and have seen this problem when my guys were in a hurry to get the car out and done.
