Check and make sure all of your ground wires are connected. Make sure that you have the ground wires to the throttle housing connected. Also is your car a standard conversion? I was putting an engine in for a guy and the engine didn't turn right away because you have to engage it in park.

If you dont hook up the grounds properly, it will not run or start at all!
