The engine was running fine before I disconnected two of the spark plug wires from the distributor cap to allow me to get to a broken heater hose connector on the intake manifold. After I fixed the hose problem, I put the wires back in the wrong places and cranked it for a while trying to start it. Now I've got them straight, but it's very difficult to start, and when it does start it runs like the timing is screwed-up. Could I have caused a problem by getting two wires (cylinders 4 and 6) backwards at first?
