1998 Blazer. 129,000mi. Just replaced torque converter. Got everything hooked back up, now it won't turn over. It doesn't even click like it does with a dead battery. Radio, lights, etc. works. What did we do wrong?

Is the starter binded?

Can you spin the engine over with a breaker bar and socket on the crank?
