Angry Im new To this..HELLLLP MEEEEEE

I have a 88 h/b and it runs like SHIT....when i brought it off my friend for 200$ it worked and i needed transprtation to work so it wasnt a bad deal. Then i started realizing only going a stunning 30mph to work wasnt worth it so i decided to hook it up. I put on a msd distributor cap and threw some new spark plugs with a cold air in take on it. It runs ALOT better but all of a sudden i create a 6am atmosphere with all the smoke that comes out my exhaust. My oil leaks like no other and i just dont know where to start or stop at this point....SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND XPLAIN IN DETAIL because im tryin to learn all this on ym own and one day help those in need......

400 seems about normal. More than likely its bad piston rings. I'd get that checked to just incase.
