Default starting the ol' girl up

ok, so yesterday i got a nice ne battery and put it in, i have all the wires hooked up, thought i had the o-rings sealed on the injectors, well i turned the key and the fuel pump worked, i know cause when i turned the key to start it came out the number three o ring on the rail. but didn't turn over, maybe a bad starter? i mean the selinoid didn't even click to ingage, any ideas? any clues on how to get the o-rings to seal? thx guys

silicone spray on the o-rings usually works.
Try tapping the starter with a ballpeen hammer while someone turns the key to start it.
