Engine won't fire?

The engine won't fire. It starts to crank but will never catch. It's a 318 4bbl. Car is a '74 Duster. We've tried everything to get it working, and nothing works. We think it has no compression...we have spark and fuel delivery. Any thoughts?

try the ballast resistor or maybe the voltage regulator. do you have the right kind of battery in it?
