My car is F*CKED!!! help me!

I just installed an open element air cleaner on my 305. Then I drove it around for a few blocks and I popped open the hood to check it and it was smoking!! It was coming from the back of the engine near the distributer. It smelled like something was burning!! Any ideas on what this could be??

Mine did the same thing. I think it may be from the coil wires touching the intake though I haven't looked yet. Take off the air cleaner and look.
