I would check float levels and see if it's leaking gas after it's off. I just replaced my HEI distributor because the coil and play in the shaft was bad. It would stop sparking and fill the exhaust with raw fuel, spark again , then blow a big bang. I used to turn the key off while driving, load up the glass packs, pump the gas, then turn the key back on and blow flames. Yours sounds like it's leaking fuel into the exhaust after shut off.
