No Spark

My car is not getting spark and im not sure why. The car was running and stalling and I fixed that problem (temporarily) because the three wire connector that goes into the distibutor cap was not making a good connection. So then it started stalling again. This time I cut the three wire connector off and put on another one that I had on. However, I mixed up the brown and black wires on it by accident. Now I have the black to the black and the brown to the brown again. Could this have caused any damage anywhere? Is that what I should look into for my no spark problem?

Re: No Spark

Found the problem. It turned out to be that the white wire to the coil was broken.
