One way that you are going wrong is in being sure that you are getting enough gas. I have two newer 4 cyl gas Fords. I have noticed that any time that they don't fire up pretty quickly, especially the one that is six volts, when cold, that gas will run out of the carburetor. ALWAYS. I believe that this is just a fact of gravity with an updraft carb. So don't let this be an indication of getting too much gas because it is normal. A cold motor needs a very strong gas mixture in order to fire, especially in very cold weather. I don't see anything in your information about cranking speed, which is always going to be slower when it is colder. I also don't see anything about setting timing. Setting timing for an electronic ignition is very different from points. I had this situation last year with one of mine. I tried to static time it and got way off. You should probably make some reference marks on the bottom of the distributor and try different settings. You will probably need to watch the number one plug to see when it fires while turning by hand.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
