Many of us have said this many times in the past, in many ways. But this is the best, short, complete statement anyone can initially make to someone with "crank but no fire".
"All internal combustion engines need the same things to run- - -
Fuel
Air
Spark
Compression
Valve timing
Ignition timing
Any one of these going wrong will keep it from running, or at least running "right". Never, ever "assume" things are correct- - - -until you prove beyond any doubt that something's right, you have to suspect that it's wrong. Fortunately, each one of these things has a specific method of proving it's correct. Pick one item, check it out until you're sure it's right, and move on to the next one. Don't bounce around from one system to another.

I hesitate to say much because we don't know what's going on with phone calls or PM's. Your lack of response says you may be getting it figured out with that help. I also like to go offline on electrical myself, to prevent endless posts back and forth. Electrical and no-start take a long time. The drawback is the group and the archive does not get manifest. I try and hope the OP"s do a recap.
In cases like this, YOU MUST FIRST check for spark. Spark does not care about valves, timing, fuel or compression. It's all electrical except for the odd distributor mechanical component failure. Like broken gear or you left out the rotor, bad points, wrong gap. Once you have spark then you figure out why it won't explode gas.
