First tip is to use eye protection. Glasses with side shields or even a full face shield. When going after the existing rust, a small hammer & chisel works on the heavy stuff.
Check the water jacket plate behind the starter/distributor. If that is still installed with bolts, I recommend changing to studs.
I've never used the POR stuff, so no comment. The Rustoleum oil based products work well IMHO, primer first then top coat. The primer is more important than the top coat.
A primer I've used with great success is Interlux Interprotect 2000E - a two part epoxy with moisture barrier. The smallest kit is a gallon size, designed to be mixed all at once for barrier coating hulls. Mixing it in smaller batches is messy, but I've done it by weight. As I recall, the ratio is about 6:1 by weight - check the MSDS sheet to get from volume ratio to weight ratio.
