anyone know anything about ign. coils?

[J Shepardson]

well I'm having a problem I just cant seem to figure out. today I decided to pull the dist. cap off to see how it looked and when I put it back on, my truck wouldn't start. after fiddling with it for an hour I gave up and went to the store and bought a new coil, cap and rotor. I put it all back together and the timing was off I accidentally placed the plug wires one notch over from where they were supposed to be. the truck ran but only for a second so I fixed the wires fired it back up and she ran (weakly)for 45 seconds and stalled now she wont start again it seems that I lost my spark again. the coil was pretty hot so I'm guessing I burned this one out too. anyone have any idea what would cause me to burn out 2 coils? the engine is a V6 2.8L
Thanks guys
