Have you checked your spark?

Do you have stock ecu or aftermarket?

This may sound stupid but have you adjust the valve clearances?

Why would it be the Batt if he says it cranks over.

Check fuel and spark.

^ as above, check fuel pump, relays, fuses, starter motor, spark plugs, dizzy, ign leads and all grounding points

check the batt too, may need more cranking power cranks but wont crank over to start deano!

brand new walbro fuel pump already checked ign relays and fuses starter motor is fine cause it cranks the car brand new plugs with the dizzy if u turn it all 1 way it cranks alot harder than the other
