On later models, there are grounds on the thermostat housing and the transmission. Carefully double check those grounds.
Are you saying that the starter is not cranking the engine or that the starter is cranking but not the engine is not firing up? If the latter is true, do you have spark and is the fuel pump priming?

The big wire from battery (-) to the frame and then on to the transmission is not working. The starter current is trying to pass thru the little wire on the valve cover, which should not happen.
