I just changed out my plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor cap. I marked all plug wires and the new distributor cap to ensure it all went back together correctly. I even did on wire at a time. Now my car backfires and has no power. Can you tell me waht i might check please.

Hi: It sounds like one of the plug wires is wrong. Here is a picture of the firing order and locations. Double check it and let me know if this helps.
