The only thing that will happen be be a "spit" back or possible back-fire. I agree, the other way will be to start at square one and set dist to #1 comp and then set timing. Myself I would just keep trying to move plug wires first. One question, did you replace the coil? And are you sure all wires are hooked uo to dist cap and locked in? And I am sure about the rotor. Look at your old one and you'll see what I mean. Look at the bottom.

I see what you mean on the rotor. There's a notch on one side, so I assume there's a corresponding key on the distributor, so you can't put it on wrong.
I've tried 4 positions, I'll try the other 4 before I call the tow truck.
