not too sure what distributor it has because the air filter is so tall it doesn't show in the pics. if you are trying to get a few more horses or get it running better a distributor recurve would be a good place to start. I recommend some seafoam motor treatment IN THE GAS TANK ONLY-NOT IN THE ENGINE OIL to clean the fuel system some before doing anything. run it hard for a bit with the treatment in it, then after that gas tank has run through do the tune up, plugs, dist cap and rotor, pcv valve, plug wires, fuel filter dist recurve, valve adjustment, throttle cable adjustment, trans modulator valve adjustment, change all the fluids, dump the fuel tank, not necessarily in that order.
