First, the emergency brake has nothing to do with it. Second, there is an inertia switch located on the kick panel just ahead of the passenger's door low down near the floor and partially hidden. You may have to reset the switch if your car got jarred or something if you were working on it. Feel around and push the little button on the side of the switch to reset. I presume since you were able to start the car when it first arrived that you know to click your theft switch on your key fob, have the car in neutral, depress the clutch, flip on the fuel pump switch before flipping on the starter switch. If your car is fuel injected, the fuel switch is even more important as a carburetored car might have some fuel in the bowls and will start before running out of fuel - but at least it would cough and run a bit until the fuel in the bowls is gone and you figured out that you forgot to flip on the fuel pump switch.
