Double check the battery connections and check all the fusible links-the little square boxes on the power distribution box.

There is also a small single wire terminal on the side of the starter beside where the pos. cable connects to the starter. It runs of the ignition switch. It just slides on the terminal so it could have bounced off. That will do it. Put a new motor in mine and was furious when I couldn't get it to turn over but all my dash lights and everything worked. Look for a loose wire dangling around the starter somewhere.
