Yup. Make sure you didn't get some spark plug wires swapped around, too!

Check all the wires to sensors, etc -- easy enough to pull a connector loose and not see it. You should get a nice, hot spark off any farily recent ignition system.

Also check the coil to distributor wire and plug wires -- when they get old, the insulation can crack when you move them around, and the spark will then "leak" out along the way to the plug!
