Whats involved in installing a NEW SVDA DISTRIBUTOR

Howdy all,
Got my hot little hands on a new SVDA distributor just wondering what is involved with the installation with it what am i required to do? Can i drop it in just where the old one was sitting?

Is there any use in me upgrading to a Pertronix or Compu-fire electronic ignition? someone suggested it to me but really not sure if its needed.
