Is it possible to damage a car by hooking up the wrong wires to the
wrong spark plugs? I did that and attempted to start my car and it
didn't of course. I'm just wondering if there was any damage caused. I
tried starting multiple times... ...like 3 or 4.

It is theoretically possible but not very likely.
Just put the wires where they are supposed to go and start it.

Thanks, now I just need to find the correct order, I didn't pay
attention when taking them off, the front was 135 so I just assumed
the back would be 246 but that must not be the case because I couldn't
start the car.(starter turned but engine never fired.) If someone can
answer this post it would be great.

picture of the distributor cap and wiring diagram. I assume that you did not
move the distributor but just took the cap and wires off.

What I do if I am stuck like that is look at the picture. Figure out which
is number one on the cap and go from there. It is a simple process.

do that on my Montana with the 3400.
