Default Help car wont start!

Ok I just got my 98 z28 put back together after a headgasket install. So on first start up the car started no problem but I had what sounded like a vacum leak so I turned it off and checked the connections. On the the second start I turn the key and the only thing that happens is the starter clicks! I tried jumping it thinking its just the battery but that doesn't work either. Oh and on the fist start up I heard the fuel pump prime but It doesn't do it any more after the first start.
