If that is all you did, then either you managed to pull the wires from the distributer or you didn't seat the plug wires properly. The wires leave little fudge room for putting them back in the wrong slot.
BTW, those platinum plugs are single electrode, right? The fancy platinum plugs with 2 or 4 electrodes have been known to loose an electrode, get stuck in the valves, and bang! $3,000 engine repair.

thanks for the warning on the plugs I'll switch them out asap. I did get it running it actually was from washing the engine down earlier, never thought it had anything to do with it because I started it and it ran fine. couple hrs later I changed the plugs.go figure, I change the evaporater last week and it all works fine I did a simple plug change and it gave me problems.
thanks again
Kurt B
