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

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