I changed timing belt and water pump after pump failed.started car and timing was off.distributor area started smoking.timed and won't start.

I didn't run car hot and have never had any problems starting in the year I've owned it. I'm thinking the cap and rotor are bad. What else could it be. Engine spins great.

Compression test showed uneven compression across four cylinders. What would cause smoke at distributor cap.
