83 Cranks but won't start 200 1983

My 83 - 240 cranks but won't turn over.

Here is what I have checked so far:

Both fuel pumps are working(hear them humming)
Removed return hose from fuel regulator to tank, put in container, cranked engine for 30 seconds-had 28oz of fuel in container
Removed oil filler cap, had someone crank engine- see movement in there- so timing belt is ok.
Removed plug wire and had blue spark when held near engine and cranked.

I am totally confused- have spark and have gas, but no turnover.

Any suggestions?
