Distributor Install, new symptoms

edit: Ok got it started, some things arise tho. Seems kinda rough when i start it and the idle is bad(was bad before, but just a tad worse) so i shut it, and i go to check the plug connections, and the headers were hot as hell after being on for lil less then a minute? did i fack my timing or is something else up....maybe i should take it to the shop now hehe, ignintion was a tough place to start my car experience

Have you checked all of your grounds? If your battery is charged but no power is getting to anything else it could be a bad ground.
