Question Distributor question

Hello! I am replacing the distributor in my 72' 351w. I ordered the wrong replacement distributor the other day. It turns out my original is a dual vaccuum advance. The one I ordered is a single vaccuum. I read that the dual vaccuum has something to do with emissions. Emissions aside, will this Distributor work fine in my rig? The gears and shaft all seem to match up, so it remains a question on the vaccuum advance. Thanks in advance!

the distributor will work just fine, just make shure the vacuum line you connect to it is connected to the right vacuum port on the carb, and you be truckin up in no time DW

Thank you! I didn't disconnect from the Carb when I removed the old one, so that should be fine. Thanks again!
