Possibly a blown fuse? Check out and make sure you didn't blow a fuse. It could be a bad starter if your fuse is blown. If so, you can either get a new one or rebuild it.

Yea the fuse might be blown. Clean the connections at the starter, and check the ground wire out really good. My ground wire was partially severed and it was a wonk show for a bit.

Mine did that, when I went to start it all it would do is click. So I bought a new starter fired it in and same problem.then I bought new post clamps, rewired to the post clamps, got them as tight as I could get them (the old dodge ones were permatightened and wouldnt get tighter) and unplugged the ignition harness under the collum jerked aroudn for 4 hours left the car without power. Plugged it all back in and it works fine now.
