I really doubt any mechanical breakage. How about the Hi Voltage wire
from the coil to the distributor? Standard type plug & coil wires DO
NOT like rough handling. I just pulled two of 'em apart when the
previous owner's robber plug "boots" slipped on my Mopar 318. I
replaced them with "hot rod" type wires from M.S.D. with molded on
boots, real WIRE cores and stronger core material.

Most probably!

That knowledge comes from what's called "experience"

Just don't get P.O.ed and _really_ break things!
You've probably almost got it done, and learded some stuff, too!
Happy new Year!
