Need distributor help

I bought a rebuild distributor from auto zone and only now am I realizing something funky: This distributor/cap does not look anything like my stock setup, my stock one was wider and had the male side plugs. Bare with me as I do not know much about distributors. here is a pic Is this what a 77 <a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/"><a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/">460 </a></a>distributor should look like or does it matter? I just cant figure out why they would do that. Thanks.
EDIT: oops wrong vbcode.

All I see missing is the cap adapter used to mount the larger hei style cap to the <a href="http://motorhaven.autoanything.com/">460 </a>Distributor. You should have the old cap adapter on your old distributor just swap it and your good to go. Eric

Can I use the same rotor that came with the cap?

You need to use the rotor that is used with the larger cap. Eric
