disy 180d out?
if you started with number one at tdc it could be on exhaust stroke not combustion stroke

I thought that , so I pulled it re did it, pulled #1 plug out turned it till 1 cylinder was up ( screw diver) ...

It still could be 180° out. You need to make sure the #1 is at TDC compression, not just up, which could be TDC exhaust.

We got the distributor closer to its correct position on Saturday, but I don't have experience with exactly how it's supposed to be oriented. It did fire up, but wouldn't stay running. One question I had was whether the Bosch platinum plugs are what is commonly used by the 2F guys. My experience is they tend to not fire when fouled.
