Yep, you've cooked at least ONE of the coils......and it probably won't last too much longer.....especially if it gets wet.
It should be apparent which coil got cooked so you MAY be able to get away with just replacing one if you can't find a full set.

Depending on the position of the crank, either 1 or 2 points were closed. So either 1 or 2 coils would be damaged.
