Welcome.
No I had a similar experience some years ago while I replaced my head gasket on a hill in Scotland somewhere at midnight with ice forming on the sheep all around me. Anyway I'm digressing. After i have done all that, the poo car would not drive.. After calling out the AA for recovery they said "have you checked the points". I grumbled to myself, "I've not even touched them in this repair"
But, i checked then and sure enough you could drive a bus though the gap.
My point is , check your points and plugs gaps.
Always room to adjust the advance and retard of the timing too.
