A cuople of months ago i tried to change the spark plug wires. But i had installed them incorrectly so i hear a ping knock and back fire. Then i see a little smoke at the time as well. Now what damage did i do because after the issue the car never turned on after that.

You probably didnt do any damage, but the car is not here in front of me and I am unsure of what help you need. Btw, the firing order of inline sixes is 1-5-3-6-2-4 and there are cylinder identity numbers on the distributor cap, you cant get it wrong.
