I should of explained it, sorry.
It's the ignition/distributor that's the problem, check you distributor cap/rotor and make sure they're not bad, also the wires, plugs.

worse case senerio, it's the timing belt. To check this, take the dizzy cap off so you can see the rotor. Then have someone try to start the car and you will be looking at the rotor, if it doesn't spin when someone is trying to start the car, you have a problem.

but if it didnt start by rolling it, i think u have a bigger issue then a starter.

cuz the car will bairly be moving....

its like going from a stand still. U have to give the engine some gas to get the rpm up to overcome the inertia of the stationary car, and the friction between the tires and the road. If the car is rolling at <5mph u need to put the clutch in VERY softly, and easy, so that it will catch and the cars inertia will be transfered to the flywheel and then to the crank then to the pistons then combustion and the car SHOULD start.

its a very hard trick to do...but its one of the perks of driving stick...u can ALWAYS start it.
