Default retard#2

I am so retarded, I did the one thing that even the most untechnical can figure out...I replaced my battery today, I plopped into the battery box just like the old one and stuck the terminals on....

I usually see a little spark but there was more than usual...I then heard a pop up in the engine bay (my battery is in the trunk and saw a little puff o smoke...I was like WTF? then I looked at the polarity...OMFG...I put it on ()*#&KLJNFE backwards!! I then beat the hell out of myself and tried to figure out what I killed...

Seems that I am getting power every where but no spark from the coil. I have an MSD 6al and timing adjuster ...The burn smell seems to come the most from the igniotion relay but she still turn over...

Any idea where to start? I did not put the 6 al in (was on the car when I got it ) but do ya think I killed it?

I am so dumb... I have done so much to the damn thing...and to do this? embarrassing...lol
