Does it sound like it wants to start when you crank it? You should list what you have checked.

Did you talk sweet to it?
That is good for about 15 psi increase in compression.
Also clean your battery terminals because it is fun to do.

ill seriously sell it for 1800 as it sits

i need something reliable

Talking

have you checked your pickups on your distributer? maybe they are encased in residue, you can chip off whats there with a screwdriver, and that could be the issue?

Same thing as replacing your distributer cap... just put some elbow grease into it.
