ive had major problems this wk with my swap so you just need to go over everything carefully.

is the battery flat?

are all lives and earths connected?

does the starter motor work?

are alternator and starter motor wired up correctly/tightly

all wires/plugs connected

any wires which you have left over?

if you dont get a click when you turn the key it means youve either missed a wire or the battery is dead. or the starter motor doesnt work. the click is the solenoid on the starter which would mean you are getting a signal from the battery

when you say what wires to use what do you mean? wires with plugs on or do you mean what wires to connect to the new loom?
