Default replaced intake manifold gasket, won't turn over

My husband relpaced the intake manifold gasket and distributor cap, when we turn the key, there's only a clicking sound. We've checked the placement of the plugs, cap is in securely, battery working finem, any ideas what it could be?

Normally a clicking sound is the starter soleniod...check the starter...maybe give it a couple of taps with a hammer.
