Default my 89 jeep Laredo engine is misfiring, but why

so last week i rear ended a guy in a toyota, did some nasty damage to my 89 jeep laradeo.. however it still kicked over started and even idled just fine... that was till we replaced the whole front end, which of course included the radiator so here is my problem..

after putting the jeep back together and getting coolant into the radiator and all the air out... the engine starting misfiring, and after taking off one of the lines on the distrubutor it actually ran better... i could be wrong as i dont know too much about cars i am still unsure as to if my engine is toast or its going to be a easy fix

Sounds to me like you have the spark plug wires in the wrong order. If you took one off and it ran better, make sure they are on correctly.
