In the process of trying to clean up my engine bay, i moved my ignition coil. In order to make it fit better i kind of took the actual coil off of the bracket it is mounted to and flipped it around, then to make more room i pulled off the other plug that is mounted to the bracket and put it on the other side and bent the bracket some. I didnt get a chance to buy a longer distributor/coil cable to check to see if the distance would affect how it ran. So i moved the coil back to where it was, and when I tried to start the car, it wouldnt fire. I tried putting everything back how it was, with no luck! The car turns over and just will not fire. Does anyone have any idea why this could have messed it up. I plan to get one from the junkyard next time I am there, I just want to understand what went wrong. Thanks for any help.
