recently me and my friend put a intake cam from a altima and put it into his 240 ( 91 ).supposed hp gain was to be beteween 15 to 20 now i dont know if thats true or not but thats what ive heard.ok heres the problem.we swaped them and put new pulgs and wires on while we were putting the cam in and after its back to top dead center and everything is put back together the car wont start.so at this point we start to toubleshoot.when we were puting the in cam in i put my torque rench down on the battery by mistake and sparks started flying.so we thought that we might have blown a fuse but we checked all the fuses that we could see and they were fine, so we thought maybe its the distributor cuz the car would not fire.so we replaced the cap and rotor.still nothing!so we changed the coil ,still doesnt start.so im out of ideas and i need your help!!any thing that you need to know that i left out just tell me and ill post it thanks guys.
