what happens when i put a distributor from a 1969 455 2B into a 1969 350 4B?

ive tried looking at the distributor interchange section in the tech section, but dont quite understand what the I#s mean.

it boils down to this - i just bought a 68 cutlass that has a 69 replacement block in it from a dealership warranty repair

it has a single points type distributor in it but i do not believe it is a factory olds distributor - more on that in a second

i bought an ignitor 2 electronic ignition and coil for it

i pulled the air cleaner housing off tonight to start on it, and when i took a closer look at the distributor, it has no vacuum advance cannister on it
and i do not believe it to be an oldsmobile distributor because it doesnt look like the photos ive seen, and it has no numbers on it, nor does it have a name brand on it.

the car works fine as is, but im a dummy with the points, and dont want an HEI, so i thought the ignitor 2 was my answer
now with this oddball distributor, id prefer a factory olds dist. with a vacuum advance cause its going to be a car me, and my wife will drive.

so, i see a distributor on ebay that has numbers on it that says it came from a 69 455 with a 2b carb on it - what happens when i take that dist. and install it into my 350?

thanks

Since it is the same distributor, it will do the job. Any Olds V8 distributor, from '65 to '72, is a direct interchange.

Igniter is a good substitute for points. I prefer points.
