Well after a new set of plugs, re-checking the ignition timing, compression testing we got it to start on a heap of "start ya bastard" turns out it was a few things. Spark plugs were shot, but the fuel was no good, hadn't been sitting that long but there was some shit fuel in the pump and lines, but turns out main problem is the pins in the carby are stuffed and lot letting enough fuel into the chamber. so new carby and will run sweet. Once it was going mates dad had it cranked to full throttle pretty much and was only just above idling.
Because the car it was from was duel fuel the old owner must have been running it on just gas too often and not enough on petrol.

So thank you all for the help and hopefully what I encountered will help someone else as well.
