I think my distributor is messed!

[Grip72]

I just put in my Vibrant Cold Air Intake and it made quite a difference in power. I could sure feel it. ANyways, after installing my CAI i ripped around town with a friend for about 10 minutes. We parked my car and i heard this really weird whirrrrring sound under the hood. So i opened it and it was coming from the distributor, we took of the cap of the distributor and it 'appeared' fine. I put my hand on it and it was pretty hot and i could feel something rough touching my hand from inside. Anywho, i dropped my car off at this friends of mines shop and left a note for him to check it out. Does anyone have any idea what it could be/how much i'm f**ked, etc? And a side note: after putting in the CAI the gas pedal felt much stiffer to push when there was about an 1" or so from it hitting the floor. (i don't think this means anything, but i put it anyways)
