I recently moved the battery and starter solonoid to the trunk. I am getting a 1 wire alternator and have already removed the voltage regulator and wires. After hooking the battery up I thought I would see if the engine would turn over. It does not turn over with the key. If I jump the posts on the starter solonoid the engine will turn over. What wires could I have screwed up? Its only the one wire marked S that goes to the ignition? I have not grounded the engine block yet but know I need to. Could this be the problem? What is the best way to trouble shoot this problem? Thanks

The reason it wasn't turning over was the solonoid wasn't grounded. Had it mounted in the trunk against the carpeted plywood I framed the trunk in. DOH!!!
