i have a 91 firebird i just recently had the 305 rebuilt and i added a couple of preformance parts to the car to get a little more out of it
( eldbrock pre. intake, holley 5.7L throttle body w/regulator and spacer, new radiator, high flow water pump, mach underdrive pulleys, shorty headers, msd distributor and blaster coil pack, plus wires, 160 thermostat and hypertech chip, i also put a shift kit in my 700r4 tranny, and a new remaned starter.)
i just recently put all the parts into or on the engine and put everything back together and when the moment of truth came around... i turned the key and nothing happened??? starter didnt engage i didnt hear the fuel pump nothing... it made me so made i spent $4500 and now it doesnt even work. all the wires to the starter are wired back corretly one from the battery 2 from the terminal next to the battery a purple wire from the gear selector to make sure the care is in park, none of the fuses are blowen i replaced the fuel pump relay.

Neutral safety switch unplugged?

Is the battery OK?
Try by passing the ignition switch and operate the starter only. See if there is current to the blaster coil and such.
Reminds me of when a friend said his car would not start. Put a new starter in it only to find out later that it was two wires reversed on the coil. This disabled the complete starter system.
Good luck

Of course you've had your battery load tested and know it's good and fully charged with good clean battery cable connections. Then, you should measure battery voltage all the time on the starter motor solenoid. You should also have battery voltage to your ignition circuit and switch fuse. If not, you could have a "fusible link" blown out in the wiring leading from the battery to the fuse block.

OK but nothing about the Battery, Alternator or starter & block grounds. After all that the small things are easy to forget some times. Battery fully charged and load tested? Alt. connected properly? Grounds for starter to block, Alt. to block, block to fire wall? Battery terminals clean, dry & secure?

Could be multible things. But first check to see if you hooked up the ground strap from the motor to the firewall. That could cause the problem.
