I just  got my 1.6td, freshly rebuilt, into my van, set the timing to 1mm, 
and it  won't stay running that way. If I advance it a bunch, it idles 
perfectly. I'm  using the mark on the clutch plate as well as the one on the 
crank pulley to  find tdc. Valves are timed right,too. I even timed it again,  
same  results. Not sure what to do from here, any advice  appreciated.

What's the pump number?  (068-130-???)  You might have a  different pump.  
Then there's those that 
have ended up with a wrong flywheel or occasionally use a wrong mark to  
time with.
