hrmmm...
I doubt anyone will know the answer to this but here it goes... I was working on a car for my friend. Its a cabiretta (OLD CAR) and i had to replace the starter, the battery, steering column, and the rimes, wheels, and tires. We turned on the car and it was working earlier after i completed it BUT now when we try to start it the car will not turn over. I know that the starter is good because its brand new, and so is the battery.. IT was working about 15 minutes ago.. NOW it doesnt turn over.. who knows the problem

OK.. I know this may be a bit late.. like a few months late.. and you prob fixed it by now.. but its your ignition.. the easiest way to fix it is with a starter button.. easy.. or you can replace the whole key and barrel :)

ok if it was working before changing everything its either your battery or starter no matter what you say...unless you took apart somthing that you didnt put together right again....make sure everything that needs to be grounded is grounded and grounded good. If you try starting the car and it clicks it is NOT your alternator it is your battery being dead and if its a new battery then it must not b clicking, now for the starter im not to familiar with all i know to test to see if it is working is to put a screw driver on it while you have someone else try starting the car if the car starts to turn over then stops the the starter is fine, if it does nothing somthing is wrong with the starter or your ground. have fun

Since you say it's not turning over, I'm going to assume that it revs when you turn the key and not just clicking. If it was just clicking I would tell you to check the alternator, but since it just won't turn over I would suggest to see if the the plugs are sparking and check the distributor (if it has one). You might find out that you have to do a full tune-up on the car to get it turn over. I don't know what else to suggest since I can't find anything on that kind of car (is the spelling correct?).
Good luck
