The only way i can see blowing a hole in the intake manufold plenum is that the engine backfired real bad. This can be caused by the ignition timing being off, loaded up with fuel, engine timing being off as in a timing chain that jumped, or there is a worn lobe on the camshaft.

Ahh yes. The old fuel pressure regulator problem. Yep, that would cause a bad backfire !

electricity always looks for the easiest path to ground. check your coil wire and distributor rotor for too high a resistance. Check the spark plug wires and plugs if the other parts check out okay.
