Engine turning over issues

[Cyrus2Dope]

Ok, so i finally got my 2 litre into my bus, WOOH WHOOO!!!! ok any how got everything hooked up and pretty looking put in a battery got in the car tryed starting it, starter just clicked, figured battery was dead so i pulled the one out of my toyota that runs, used that battery still just clicks, now i am curious if either my batterys are crap or if my starter is, i noticed that among all the clicking and me cursing that the degree pulley turned a good 90 degrees after a while, i keep thinking that my starter is dead and i am wondering if i should just buy a brand new hi torque one that will turn the engine over even if it does stick at TDC for some really odd reason (if any one can suggest why it sticks there it would be greatly appreciated if they could help me) any suggestions on this dellima?? thanks allot
