looking for help

hi guys, i baught a 94 f150 a couple of months ago and decided yesturday i was going to change the plugs and wires. Well i changed 2 of them and took the distributor cap off and now the truck wont start, i even baught a new cap and rotor. It sounds like the firing order is off but i know its right. If anyone could help me thatd be great, it has the 300 motor in it btw.

Check all connections, Plugs, wires, COIL....the biggest mistake I've seen, and make sure your ICM (Ignition control module) plug isn't loose, it's located under the dizzy head.

I think you should check the firing order just in case it is out. The order is 1-5-3-6-2-4.

South, No longer live there, was there for my dad, to help him fix up his house, was there for a while, in Summerville (30 minutes south of Charleston) I wanna move there, but as of right now, my wife doesnt wanna move, I hate Wyoming, I made this while I was there and then got so caught up in the work that I forgot about it, I rolled my ranger back in 2008 and bought my 89 150, miss my ranger man......but I love my monster.

ok well the firing order is correct, i only put in 2 new plugs, i took the new one out of cylinder 2 and put the old one in for ****s and giggles and it started but ran really bad, my guess is it hates the new plug in cylinder 1 why is it doing this?
