Listened to the video: too much advance. Rotate the dist, ccw a bit. If the dist has never been out, nearly correct timing will have the vacumn advance pointing straight ahead.

Also, when it does catch you will have to keep the throttle open a bit longer to clear out all the gas that is laying in the manifold from repeated attempts to start. Don't worry about the starter running a few extra seconds. You had it running in the video but it died when you let the throttle close before the engine cleared out.
