The mechanical advance part will work fine, but the vacuum advance may 
actually give you a vacuum retard if plumbed into the usual place. This would 
be counterproductive.  

Pulling the vacuum hose off this distributor should make NO change at idle. If 
it does, you have it connected to a port that has the wrong vacuums at the 
wrong times for this vacuum advance.  

Still, even if you disconnect the vac advance, this dist has a very nice 
advance curve and will work well. It will just give even better fuel economy, 
and NO loss of power when you need it, if the vac adv is connected up right.
