well it appears the fuel mixture was too rich. After setting the fuel mixture right where the injectors will start to dispense gas if the air plate is touched the mixture screw was turned ccw about a 1/2 turn. The motor now starts and idles nice. If the plugs are checked there is no build up on them.
Need to top off the coolant reservoir and connect the distributor vacuum advance. Things are looking up. Thanks for the support from all.
