Your older distributor will have three bolts holding it to the valve cover. Since the replacement distributor body will be exactly the same as the one you're replacing, and to assure that the timing won't change when you do the switch, do this: etch a mark across the valve cover at a point that matches a distinct place on the distributor body that is the same on both distributors. Then when you make the switch, simply align the distributor with that mark. Also, as noted before, the rotor alignment will only mate up in one location. Just point the new one in the same direction as the old one. You'll know when you "hit that spot" while inserting the new distributor. Before you install that "new" used one, you should consider giving it an internal flush with some sort of solvent, thoroughly shake or use compressed air to clean that out (flush it a few times if necessary), then re-lubricate it with something like WD40. Also, with an older distributor, be careful with the plastic connection plug attached to the distributor body side. They break easily.
