starter will not engage (car will not start)

Hi SAABnetters:
I've just completed a fairly extensive restoration: motor mounts, shocks, ball joints, power steering (PS) rack, PS pump, PS return hose and high pressure line, alternator, water pump, crank shaft pulley, and belts. This repair has taken me 4 months, during which the motor and starter have not been operated: the car has just been sitting in my garage.
I think I have reconnected everything correctly.
The battery has 12 volts of charge, as measured with an ohmmeter. The head lights come on and are bright.
However, the starter will not engage.
Could somebody kindly suggest what I might do, or what might be wrong?
The starter cranked when I began my restoriation.
Thanks for your advice,
Phil Smith
Duluth, GA
