[Roadsters] Distributor need or go electronic

[Dewey Hahlbohm]

I would definitely recommend electronic.  I bought Gary Boone's and it stabilized an uneven idle I struggled with for years.  In hindsight, I can attribute that to the old distributor.  It also seems to have stronger power throughout the RPM band, may be due to change of timing and electronic ignition, along with sealing off the smog pump inlet tubes.  Go for it, you will not regret it. Dewey
