I replaced all the lines when I got the motor too.
1. All vacuum lines and wiring must be connected OK---> 2.Check battery if its dead (turn lights inside car, check headlights etc) NO GOOD (re charge battery and check connections) OK ---->3.Turn the key on (no thing happens and all you hear is click) NO GOOD (check starter and connections) OK-----> 4. Motor cranking but not starting (check fuel, spark, timing, and compression)
p.s: if none of this works, try powering your starter directly and the motor should turn over unless it is seized. theres a good chance that your grounding out somewhere and all the power from your battery is going no where.
