ok so I made a mistake.  i had the spark plugs hooked up on the distributor
cap so that it was firing 1-2-3-4 instead of 1-4-3-2  even though I KNEW
what it was supposed to be, just a late evening working all day shoulda
taken a break mistake.

Thing is it started right up that way though was rough and a bit loud(now i
know why!).
Now that I got it all hooked up proper like, it doesn't want to start, it
has sputtered a few times. :(  did i do something awful?

I'm letting it rest right now and charging the batter(i didn't try so long
that i let the battery go dead, just knew it hadn't been charged in more
than a month)

sigh... any hep?
