Turn-key starts.

Took out the low rating Delco-Remy points distributor and coil...which idled terribly, could not keep consistant M/P; and consitantly had a run-on problem at shutoff; below average acceleration.....now no more timing, no more adjusting points, no more mixture adjustments, nothing but fun..all the difference in the world.

This is a highly recommended upgrade...I understand Mallory makes a vacuum distributor the same as this one......
what would this do to California smog check on a 2F engine?
just curious...
