Oil spill from the dist at accel

The first time I "got on my throttle" it smoked a bunch because oil came 
out the base of the dist housing at the clamp. After messing with the 
timing and tightening it down really well the problem seemed to go away. 
However it did this again when I hit it hard on an on ramp. I am 
wondering if I could have too much oil in the engine. My dipstick had to 
be recalibrated as the new tube was about 1&5/16ths shorter. I did this 
by two methods, first I measured the difference and secondly I added 4 
&1/2 quarts only. The two methods seemed to agree as it showed full. 

Another cause could be a bad o-ring on the dist but it was all new. I 
have the PCV on the valve cover and don't imagine I have a pressure 
issue. Any thoughts????
