Once again Doug, thanks for your insightful reply. I've learned a LOT from your posts alone.
I replaced the distributor with an identical replacement from what was on the car before, which is mechanical advance only. No vacum advance.
It's a Unilite disstributor. Many have told me I should have replaced it with something better, but It ran great before, so I replaced it with what it had before, just to limit variables.
As I expected, it runs exactly like it did when I test drove it and bought it, so I'm happy at present with the way it's running.
Again, I'm sure there's fine tuning that can take place, with someone who knows what they're doing, but it runs great right now, so I'm just going to drive it and enjoy it.
