Replaced plugs and wires, still running rough?

Just switched out my spark plugs and wires, almost started it before realizing I accidentally switched up two wires and fixed that. Started the car, and it does a *POP* Starts up and the car idles really rough now. Been at it for 3 hours and cant find the issue.

Seeking immediate help 😤

Maybe you still have a pair of wires switched? The following pic might help.
You did not take the distributor caps off, right? If you did, I believe it is possible to reinstall the rotor 180* out of phase, which would of course cause problems.
