Why replace the distributor if it works fine? Same goes for the PCV Valve, which can actually be cleaned if it's dirty, though it's something you'll know right away. Just doing the wires, caps, and plugs will make a huge difference; do that and you should make about 30mpg average. I would also suggest a timing belt/oil pump if it's been a long time since that was changed, but that isn't going to make it run better, just preventive maintenance.

they can both be cleaned really easily but if you dont want to clean them just buy new ones.
