Car won't start

Hey guys, I can't seem to get my car to start. I replaced the spark plugs and the plug wires, the stater motor and all I get when I turn the key with the car being jumped is a bunch of clicking and a slowly turning engine. I removed the fuses and did the whole how to start when flooed thing and still nothing. The engine turns very slowly. Any ideas anyone? I'm gonna see if my brother can get a video of what's heppening too.

How long should I charge the battery, because more and more I'm thinking that's the problem. Also, I've heard of overcharging the battery, for how long would I have to charge a battery for this to happen and what happens when it does?

If you don't already have a charger you can pick a cheap one up at Walmart. I bought one that is a slow charge and a maintainer. Once it charges to a certain point it stops, then when the battery starts to lose its charge it kicks in again and maintains it at a constant rate. It's all automatic. It was under $30 I believe.. You're at UML right? If your car was closer to Boston I'd let you borrow my charger to bring your battery up to spec

I've checked the fuel pump. I just went up and picked up a charger at Walmart cuz that's really the only thing I think it can be cuz I've replaced everything else. I'll give it a try tomorrow and post how it goes.
