Hi guys, recently i've been having a cranking issue that is getting gradually worse.

No longer starts at all, no spark. In the past 2 weeks ive changed the distributor, Ignition coil, dizzy cap, rotor, starter, leads and plugs.

Okaaaaaay...

Today took the car (after roll starting) to the shops and came back, no worries. Went to roll start again and it didnt start. Tried my luck at cranking and the car started. Put it into first and went to take off and the car died, no electrics worked, no cranking, NOTHING. Disconnected the battery for ten min and put terminals back on, negative then positive, as I was putting the positive terminal back on it sparked HEAPS, far more than normal, and smoke started coming out from underneath the startermotor (not from the starter, just the area) aswell as melting a bit of the + battery terminal. I have no idea whats going on and I really need some help...

if you have smoke coming from somehere and smell a burning smell, you have serious problems. and it doesnt matter what terminal you connect first.

Its not the IAC, that has nothing to do with whats going on here.
