If youre sure the battery is charged, you could try starting the motor without any belts on the car. If it still dosnt start, you might have a problem with teh starter itself.

don't leave the key turned on with the engine not running. It will kill your battery.
And hook the wire back on to the temp sensor.

and you just swapped camshafts?

My temp gauge didn't work after my cam install because it had an air bubble in the block. Luckily I was really paying attention & noticed the problem before the engine overheated.
