Distributor question on a 460...

I am getting ready to order a replacement distributor for the 460 in my 79 Bronco. I was checking on prices and ran into a bit of a problem. The parts store needs to know if I have a dual or single vacuum unit. I am not sure how to tell the difference... can anyone shed some light on this mystery for me? Any and all help is appreciated!

does your vacuum canister on the side have 1 or 2 places to hook vacuum lines too it? That's the difference.

AHH, That is kind of what I was thinking, I wasn't sure. I not as familiar with the duraspark systems, and I am a newbie to big blocks... this is my first 460. Thank you very much!
