The particular vacuum advance cannister must be matched to the vacuum 
pickoff point that your carbs use. I don't know whether the dist you 
have is going to work or not. Is your 1600 dist a carb dist or a FI 
dist that has both mech and vac adv?

If it's for exactly the same carbs, then it will be fine, even if the 
carbs are setup slightly differently (different jets, etc.)
