My car won't start!

My RX7 ('84 GSL-SE) won't turn over. I just finished putting in a new rad and water pump, and filling it up. I went to turn it on, and it went over fine. I let it idle for 10 minutes, then killed it to go put my stuff inside. when I got back, I tried to start it again, and no go. it cranks fine, but will not turn over. I checked to make sure there were no loose connections for the ignition. what else could be causing this?

actually as it turns out my alarm screwed up and the kill switch wouldn't disable. I learned this when I tried to toggle the alarm, and it wouldn't work. My roomates stepfather, who is a reformed car theif fixed the problem for me.
