Car cranks but wont turn over

Hi i have a daily 86 fc n/a and been trying to figure out what is wrong with my car. It cranks but wont turn over did the flooding tec and gets nothing from it. I changed the spark plugs and spark plug wires and change the fuel pump and still nothing. Even tried to push start the car its won't. Only thing that work is when my buddy was towing my car and i push start it turn on but i couldn't give it gas. Anyone has a cule what is wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Steven

What happened leading up to this, was there any work done to the car, did it happen after a short drive, then it would not start. Just to help you understand what I am asking, when I say start that means the engine actually fires and is running, when I crank that means the engine just turns over while turning the key but never catches and runs on its own.
Details leading into this problem will help, there are alot of issues that will cause a vehicle to just crank and not start.
