Is this a DK4A disributor with auto-advance? Then set it so the points just open (blue Rizla paper held between the points comes loose) at TDC. Worry about fine tuning when it runs.
Check it is rotating clockwise (when viewed from ABOVE - this is an anti-clockwise unit in Lucas designation).
As David suggests, the best engine-killer I can think of if you have a spark and compression is an air leak at the inlet manifold - not always easy to detect so in the absence of other clues it may be worth extra attention.
Otherwise attached may prompt a thought.
