Turns freely but will not fire at all.
Fuel is getting to the cylinders.
He also expressed surprise that it doesn't even attempt to start when they spray fuel in the intake.
I have asked them to do a leak down test and remove the rocker cover for a visual inspection as that may give a better idea.

1) If there were a gross mechanical failure in the cam drive, the engine would not, a] turn freely, or b] yield the compression pressures that are quoted.
2) Look to the ignition system for the cause of not starting/running. If the distributor cap is not obviously damaged (it may be quite dirty/oily inside), examine the rotor for cracks, and for the condition of the resistor that is encapsulated in the rotor (~1K ohms). If nothing obvious there, check coil for resistances on both primary and secondary windings, particularly looking for an open circuit, or very high resistance. If all those seem right, try to find an ignition controller (EZL) to borrow for a test.
