Turned the key to run and got dash lights (good sign). Turned it to run and the starter kicked for half a second and then nothing. Could not get it to even do that again on subsequent tries.
The coil, condensor, and points are all new. I'm about to pull out the new condensor and put the old one back in for the heck of it.
Any ideas?

Remove both battery cables and clean them good. (both ends). If it is an automatic make sure it is all the way into park (or try it in neutral). Make sure that the ground straps from the back of the engine to the firewall are there and connected. If there are no ground straps there install one from somewhere on the engine to the firewall.
