Default Starter problem...need help asap

i just got finished changing the starter in my 1996 accord and now the car doesnt

start at all. i took the intake and distributor off to make room to work replaced the

bad starter and put everything back on. now when i turn the key to start, the

starter clicks a few times. Then when the key is in the on position is sounds like

rapid clicking behind the dash and the lights on the cluster go crazy. what could be

wrong??
