What was wrong with the car leading to replacing distributor?
Are the spark plug wires plugged onto the cap in the proper order?
Was a timing light used to adjust the distributor? Correctly?
What color is the smoke?

I love how generic people are now a day and expect others to read minds. Especially over the interweb at it.
