I've seen nearly seized alternators cause slow crank/no start problems. Try removing the belts one at a time and see what happens.

engine to chassis. some times on an older car an extra ground helps from the neg on batt to the starter bolt.

A bad ground or tired starter will also cause those symptoms.

Ok ,the cars starter has been replaced,have the skinned knuckels to prove it,the solinoid bolt had been cranked down so hard that when i tried to unbolt it ,with out much force ,it came right out of the soiloid,busted ,so i think the starter was a good move,but still turns slow.Cleaned one ground at the lower transmission housing and chassis ,is there more?

Havent located the real problem yet,Ill check the lower end today ,thanks.
