If you were over the fill line and blowing white smoke sounds like the head gasket is blown. Or at least the most likely scenario. Did the oil look milky, or have a different color/consistency? Usuall...

my guess would be bad rings or head gasket. Can't think of a scenario where the distributor would cause something like that. Were you checking he oil level each time before adding more to it? That's a...
