When you say still the same does that mean it starts with the key and then dies right after you let go of the key?
As far as a short, do you have a volt meter? You have two wires to the coil, I'm not sure of the wire colors so put your black meter lead to a known ground, turn the key on and see which of the two wires has battery voltage when they are disconnected from the coil. That wire is the wire that goes to the + side of the coil. If the dist. pick-up was inalignment when you hooked up the jumper wire it sure could have arched.
