Being a novice I am not sure your correct language of the engine is mine and I would love to learn more.

Some easy to do tasks that are paramount to having the car start up well: Each and every ground must be very clean and tight.
Make sure you have heavy battery cables designed for 6v systems.
Be certain there is no paint on the starter end and the adjacent surface of the oil pan.
An Optima battery does supply a lot more CCA's than a typical acid type battery.
Did you test the battery before you attempted to start it? It should have a minimum of 6.3v.
