According to the Bentley the DIS is used only on cars
wiht carbs and FI when sold in California. THe
function is to stablize the idle at all times, no
matted what the load on the engine is. Load being the
A/C on or the auto trans in drive. It only is active
between 600 and 940 rpm. 

When setting the timing on a DIS equiped car one
should bypass the DIS by connecting the plugs
together. 

As for extra weight issue, I feel there is none. The
module itself weighs probably something like 5 ounces.
