To me it sounds like you lost the timing belt, you can upload a short video of the engine cranking over so I can tell for sure or do a compression test.

This guide can help:

This car does not have a crankshaft sensor, instead it has a pick up coil inside the ignition distributor, but since you have spark, I don't think this will be the problem.
