Battery fell out... Truck won't start.

So I finally got my truck back together after swapping over to a 4-speed, installing a 4 inch lift, and blowing the bank on some new wheels and 35s. I jumped the gun a bit and decided to tear up the trails at my house as soon as it was together just enough. It was a complete beast until I went up a really steep hill climb, made it up just fine but stalled out about a minute after the climb. opened the hood and the battery was gone! Turns out, it fell out when I went up the hill climb and I'm guessing my truck was running on the alternator until the positive terminal shorted on something? I put the battery back in and it cranks fine but no spark... I tried a new coil, a new wire to the distributor, nothing. I'm getting power to the coil and I have electric ignition. Could I have blown that up? I'm pissed I didn't take an extra 20 minutes to bolt the wheel tubs in, or at least but a bungee around the battery! It was fun while it lasted, but pulling it back to my house through the mud with a tractor was not fun.
