no crank after engine install

85 z 2w with 305 tpi auto trans, bought project car 2 years ago with bad tranny. took out tranny for rebuild and noticed alot of oil leaks on engine. so i figured time to lift it out and fix all the leaks or get some crazy swap for it. I decided to just regasket the engine valve seals and all gaskets. put engine back in and would not crank only one strong click. Bad starter so i changed out starter and cranked great no start. power windows worked all seemed ready to go. no power to distributor on the pink wire single wire. then after some work lost cranking, found bad lug on starter killing power into the car. changed starter again. still no crank no power.

here is what i don't have
no power windows
no crank
don't hear fuel pump prime when key on(did hear after cranking when it did crank)
directonals

Do have
power seats
power windows
flashers last ime i checked

checked all fuses in car and links all check good with muliti meter
did i miss a wire or something? i think it may be two problmes?
i'm stuped please help me give me some things to check. tranny still out don't think that matters to start it.

Jeff
