Doing an HEI install on a 77' 40.

Hi Guys,
Need some help, doin an install of an HEI distributor on a 77' 40.
Ive done this a few times (plug and play) however this ones getting a little cap wobble (possible non-metric gear), smoke from the hot lead to starter and heavy flooding of gas coming out of the intake.

any possible suggestions?

Sounds like three different problems.

I don't know about the cap wobble.

The smoking battery cable means it's still carrying current after the starter is disengaged.

Need more details about the flooding. It could be a couple things. What does heavy flooding of gas coming out of the intake mean? I's it dripping down the engine or ?
