Default Assistance needed.

I am brand new to the Model A scene. Bought a '29 Model A this summer after retiring and I have stripped it down to the chassis. I believe it was stored for a number of years (10+) and has not run since. I did all the basic stuff . . . cleaned the oil pan out, new gasket etc. changed all the electrical wiring to the engine, new stuff in the distributor and new plugs, etc. When I went to activate the starter it turned the engine over about one revolution and then the starter started smoking at the top by the starter switch. Also, it seemed like the new battery lost its charge. Anyone have any advice or a book I can get to help me start this baby.
Thanks. Joe
