Hi.. i have a 1996 chevy silverado 5.7l 350 and i recently changed my distrubutor, distrubutor cap, spark plugs and spark plug wires. After installing it i started it up and notice that something wasnt right and that my check engine light was on, after further inspection i noticed that my number 1 and number 3 wires we mixed up so i corrected my mistake. I started it back up and it shakes wierdly and my check engine light is still on so i was wondering if my timing was off because of my mistake?
Thanks,
Tye
