You may have burnt the fusible link , how did the wires look when you pulled the starter ? Could be anything really since its not seized, control module if equipped with HEI , corroded cable connections, battery drain, the list goes on.

Have no idea without some troubleshooting on your part. Is there 12v on the purple wire with the key selected to the start position and is there battery voltage on the big lug at all times? Is the battery fully charged?
