Speed reference sensor connections mix up

What would happen if the connections for the speed and reference sensor were mixed up? I'm guessing the car wouldn't start/run right?

Mine appear to be connected the opposite way that clarks has them in the tutorial Speed and Reference Sensors - Checking, Replacement, and Adjustment

Clarks has

Top - Reference sensor - 25,26,78
Bottom - Speed sensor - 8,27,23

Mine has

Top - Speed sensor - 25,26,78
Bottom - Reference sensor - 8,27,23

I guess a previous owner could've fitted them in the bracket incorrectly, but got the connections correct...

Misfire while cranking, but no start.

Cool, thanks for confirming my suspicions
