I wired a obd2 distributor to an obd1 to fit my car. it ran but seemed slow and backfired loud every time i shifted. Then when i was driving home I went over a bump and the motor turned off. Now it won't crank but i can hear the starter whining. I don't know if I blew the motor or something else stopped working and won't allow the motor to crank

if the starter whines but doesn't turn the engine over the starter drive is broken. that is the gear part you'll need another starter. don't know why you just didn't put eh correct dist in. but that's yours
