should I change this distributor from points to electronic ignition. Would performance be that much better.

Probably not.  Electronic ignition takes less maintenance and will spark a lean mixture better without missing, but won't really improve performance.  You'll still have the timing problem too.

My local old-timey locksmith shop had Datsun key blanks.  Find an old shop, not a Home Depot.
