Default starting problems...HELP!!!

Im posting this for a friend...for some reason the car wont start. he siad it was making some weird sound on the tranny side before it completely went out. we did a compression test and still seems fairly good. it sounds like it wants to crank but wont actually turn over. we pulled off the distributor and it seemed to be locked up so we replaced it with a new one...even the rotor and cap. we pulled the plugs and tested for spark. it is getting spark and fuel but just wont turn over. any one have any suggestions??? please post if you know what might be going on...
