Engine HEI problems.

Jeeper
I'm not sure if I messed something up or just have bad luck. I replaced my distributor with an HEI distributor. The jeep will start and idle. However, if I adjust the timing to what should be proper, it has trouble. Once I reattached the vacuum tube it starts racing.
This may be a separate issue, but additionally I have smoke in the engine compartment and the exhaust was red. I don't know if something failed such as my EGR and it's just bad timing or if there's a problem with the HEI install.
At this point I would like any suggestions what to even consider. My Jeep was disabled last Winter when I could have used it in the snow, I don't want that to be the case this Winter
