Start checking every wire and connection and anything that that you moved or touched. Why is there a black/ground wire laying on top of the dist and not connected to anything???? and a purple(key on hot) wire laying across/on top of the shift linkage???

Look at the ignition module, it is mounted to the exhaust riser on the port side (passenger side) of the engine, opposite side of the engine of the shift linkage. It will clearly state if it is thunder bolt IV or V. Should be V unless somebody changed it. V has a knock sensor, IV does not. Maybe other differences but I am not aware of them.

Looks to be a black unconnected ground wire and if its got a connector like that and its not bolted down as a ground or such the install might still be in error?
Check the plug wire connection on cylinder #5 and #7, many times these two get crossed because they are right next to each other in the firing order and I've seen some run like this with that cross-up.

what is on the other end of the ground wire? purple is probably trim limit. supposed to stop you from trimming up at a certain point when in gear. probably bypassed.
