After changing the battery ends there is no fire to the spark plugs and the car will not start. What could cause this on the car listed above that is a custom model?

Hello,

It sounds like when changing the battery cables something got shorted out or one of the power leads was left off. The positive battery cable has one large and one smaller wire both must be connected tot he battery.

Here is a guide to help you check the fuses
