1985 Ford Mustang V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 351w in my Mustang. The crank turns.I pulled a valve cover off and the rockers move when turning motor over, but when I pulled the dist cap the rotor does not move and the oil pressure needle does not move. Also the pin in the dist gear that drives the oil pump has broke on me several times. Each time I pull the dist and replace this pin, I did this and retimed three times yesterday until I saw the rotor was not moving?

Probably the timing chain has roken or slipped off the cam gear. Or something similar you could also have a piece of valve seal in the oil pump and done the same thing.
