Wont start after Distributer Cap removal & repace..help plz

[plane16j]

ok today took off my dizzy cap to replace it, but when i looked @ the prongs inside the cap there was build up on them so i cleaned off all the prongs and reinstalled the cap....but now when i start the car it sounds really really quiet and idles fine its like somthing ive never seen before. kinda like its only running on one piston...so while running i removed 1 plug wire @ a time and found that they were all firing. but as soon as i touch the gas the engine dies....i'm think'n its getting weak spark now and should change the dizzy cap.....what do you think?? thanks 4 your help

I assume the car was running fine before this? If all that was done was r&r + cleaning of the cap all I can think of is that either the cap/rotor are shot or that the wires are on in the wrong order, which wouldn't be consistent with the symptoms you're describing.

ok so i pulled out my distributor earlier today after pulling it out i realized that i had marked where the dis. was in association with the block and i should have marked where the rotor was lined up with the distributor and now my timing is horribly off is there any way that i can get them lined up again?
