Default tranny swap, and now the car won't start. HELP!

I just finished putting in a different tranny in my car because my old one was shot.

Also, I did a rear disc conversion.

Now the car cranks but won't turn over. I am thinking it is related to something I did when swapping the tranny but can't find a single problem. Everything appears to be plugged back in and no fuses are blown.

Any ideas?

unfortunately there is no CEL. It cranks but it doesn't even sound like it wants to start.

I just double checked my wiring and didn't see any physical damage. Also I pulled iginition wire 4 and checked for spark and it is there.

I am completely baffled!

i never removed them in the first place.

only removed what was absolutely necessary to get the tranny out. Like 5 plugs from the wiring harness around the tranny

It's a ground. I think it's 2 wires and it's colored black/brown. It needs to be grounded, I believe its for the Dizzy. I forgot to hook that one up when I did my 5spd conversion and my car wouldn't start for beans.
