When you turn the key to ON(III) with the clutch pedal pushed down, is there battery voltage at the starter solenoid wire?

Did you reconnect the transmission ground?

Does the fuel pump prime?

check the voltage at both terminals of the starter with the key turned to start. if 12v not present theres your prob.

sorry if my post earlier came off as negative towards you, but it truly wasnt. ive heard of too many people tucking their bays and then not getting spark/fuel. usually something minor that was overlooked. good luck.
