There is quite a lot of advance if the photo of the flywheel ties in with the points just opening on no. 1 cylinder. The rotor arm appears to me to be pointing straight at or a little after no 1 plug lead (with the blob of white paint) and the 1342 sequence appears correct, so either you are still 180° out (which seemed possible given you swapped 1 and 4 and it started!) or you have too much static advance.
Assuming you've sorted getting TDC on the compression stroke and are not now 180° out I would set it up bang on TDC (1/4 on the flywheel at 12:00 o'clock) and give it a go. You can tweek the static advance once it's running by twisting the distributor in its bracket, which I assume is still loose.
Small point. I'm sure you've measured it with a gauge, but the points gap looks a little bit wider than .012", but it may be the photo.
