Probably not or fuel would be coming out the exhaust. Did it just quit, and give a little history on the engine and problem.

If it was running till you changed the dist. I would think the dist. is the problem, it is either not in time or the cap thats on it does not have the spark plug wires installed to match the firing order of your engine.
