Is there any timing I could have put it too that would make it basically not rev up at all, or not start (I tried to start it this morning, and it wouldn't even do that anymore)?
Ok so today I went to the junk yard and pulled a distributor, put it on, but the car still won't start. Was I wrong to install it to just line up the two little prongs on the engine side with the wholes in the engine? Does it matter what way the cap is on the car? Because right now the screw is facing me, where as before on the old distributor it was facing the firewall. Could I have screwed up anything else by breaking the old distributor? Any help would be great. Thanks.
