You didn't happen to replace the distributor rotor by chance? Sometimes that screw that holds it in place falls off and the rotor will fall off.

distributors dont break its the parts in them that do. save yourself the cash and fix it. everything in there can be tested and replaced.
your distrib is a series of magnets, coil, cap and rotor.
