That condition is almost always caused by a partially fouled plug.
If the cylinder has been run not firing, it may be really carboned and oily. As soon as the new plug fires a few times, it splashes up oil and soot, quickly fouling it.
You might benefit from a non fouler on that cylinder only. If that will get the cylinder firing, it may clean up after a while and the non fouler removed. Be sure the thermostat is in and working.
Also check the spark quality of that plug wire against the others. Check it at the plug end. Possibly there is a bad wire, points out of adjustment, worn distributor shaft bearing. Even though the ignition components are new, they are all aftermarket and the quality is just not what it used to be.
