runns rough after changing out steering columb?

I just change my steering columb and put everything backtogether and the car is running about 250 rpm lower and acts like it is missing. Me and a friend were snaging the wires and pinching them pretty good and may have bumped the spark plugs a fuw time to. what do you guys think?

Might have pulled a plug wire loose?

Similar thing happened to me at an AutoX last weekend, right in the middle of a run. Thought I had lost another engine, but turned out the wire from the leading coil had just pulled loose in its boot.
