HUGE backfire while car not on, msd6a
last night i was installing my msd6a after i took it off to diagnose..
as my cousin was tapping the wires for the msd the distibuter fell around 3'-4' to the ground he picked it up and said it was okay........
. i put the white msd wire to the green yellow[-] and the red one to the blackyellow[+] in the distibuter...i took out the coil and used my blaster coil....after cranking and the car not starting, i went to the dizzy and hit it on top of the msd wire [to push them in]....the biggest ******* back fire..i almost crapped my pants like chef in southpark......it was too late and i got pissed so i stopped right there...
what coudl it be?
did i install it wrong? its an obd0 distibuter
btw it has 110 in it now
any help would be apreciated

OK, so you loaded up the cylinders with unburned fuel. You whacked on the dizzy and the top of the MSD coil. You got a big backfire.
You probably have a bad wire connection or you knocked one loose with the whack. That resulted in triggering the coil, causing and ignition spark, and boom. I assume the ignition was on during this event.
