Default cranking trouble

here's the situation, the dizzy is bad so i'm not even worried about spark right now, but when i crank it it truns over very slowly and inconsistantly it seems like it's drawing more juice that it should, the battery is dead so i have it jumped, when i crank it the dash lights dim the VAFC turns off and the lights on the car it's jumped to go dim. i tried cranking without the spark plugs in and it its still slow but it is consistant. my compression should be in the ball park of 11.9-12.7:1, the rings have not yet sealed. i can turn it over by hand with just a bit more effort than a stock b16.

may be worth checking the timing out, is it possible it jumped a tooth, had a friends honda shear off one of the keyways on a cam gear but it wedged back in and left the belt one tooth off, was doing kind of the same thing,. good luck,hope it helps out.
