My question is can I use a distributer with the vacuum advance on it and just leave the vacuum actuator capped off on the distributor or do I need to find a distributer with out it like the one thats in it?


You need the right distributor. I suspect the first pic is what you already have. The second pic is what you could use to eliminate the computer system. Similar to this one at Summit linky.
