I finally managed to start the car.  Unfortunately non of the advice I got helped.
I discovered one wire to be at the wrong location in the plug.
But worse, the timing was 180 degrees off.  I had to pull out the gear and relocate it to be able to put the distributor back to the right timing.
It is an air cooled engine.  Still needs a thermostat and exhaust gasket change.
Compression is 155 all over.  Runs great and the interior of the camper is like new.
It is an '82, white, new windshield, tires, etc.
I will put it up for sale.
