Car won't start

Ok, i hooked everything back up after my clutch job and it wont start now.

It clicks but i think its the fuel pump turning on, not the starter.

Theres a ground wire on the top of the tranny right by the bellhousing, where does this wire go? It came out when i pulled the tranny and i cant find where it goes now.

I also took the P/S pump out, could the lack of the ps wiring be causing it?

And how does the starter work? it seems to lose voltage when the key is turned is this what its supposed to do?

Ground wire goes to the body of the car, under one of the nuts that holds the vacuum hardline to the brake booster.

That ground wire is particularly important, IIRC, get that on ASAP. Then try it again.

I believe it goes near the wiper motor there should be a copper/brass male connecter it goes to, on the fire wall
