I installed some new plug wires and hooked up half of the engine in reverse order that it was sposed to be in. I started the car and it ran for a good 10 minutes while I tried to figure out what was wrong. What could I have hurt by doing this?

 

Probably nothing.

 

Most people probably wouldn't have even asked that. The chances of it hurting something in 10 minutes is pretty slim. Just switch em around, make sure it runs right and go run the hell out of it.

 

I did that before as well, I couldnt figure out for the life of me what the hell was wrong. then I triple checked the wires and found out... how dumb I felt.... the car runs like a beast when you get them wires on right
