no i didnt drop any of them i was very careful with the plug wires and plugs because i read before hand about all the problems. But ofc i still got problems lol. the car is like really shaky at highway speeds and the shifter shaking like crazy and also there is hesitation like symptom coming out of low rpm on gears.

Is this a V8? I know it's difficult to get to the plugs and wires but you need to remove all of them and perhaps even just put in new ones.
Also, did you put in new wires? If so, hopefully you didn't yank too hard on one and also, it's difficult at best to get the wires to seat in some of the plugs. I've laid a large screddriver or even pry bar on some and gave them a whack to get the ..............click
also check the that you did not cross wire

troubleshooting 101 says that if the problem arose after you did something, then what you did is probably what caused it.

well i finally heard the click and the car isnt running like **** in low rpms and it stopped most of the shaking. i still feel like im lacking power overall but maybe thats just me. next mission is to install window motors and then finish deciding if i want to go with a package or build my current engine.

check both ends of your coil wire. spark may have found another place to release when it was hard to get one at the plug. look for spark trails at the coil where the coil wire plugs in, may be one on the plug. its a dark crack looking trail. lol
