I got the distributor in the mail and it came with and extra cap, points, etc.

So, it's an early style distributor. Will this one fit the 235? What do i need to do to make sure it fits?

It sounds like a) vacuum advance is not neccessary, but it would probably make things better/easier and b)I can retro-fit a vacuum advance to this distributor (maybe from the stock distributor??). Right? What do I need to do to convert this Mallory to a vacuum advance?

There's a Chevy performance shop down the street from me, but I've heard they're really pricey. This will give me a good reason to go and talk to them, but I'd like to be armed with some more info first.

Thanks,
joe
