The connectors are probably different.  They were when I replaced
my 82's engine with an 89 Fox motor (JN).  It is about the same motor,
save for valve sizes and hyd versus mech.  I had this problem, and was
forced to dismantle the connector on my old distributor and mod it
into the new distributor.  Had I known this would be a problem, I would
have tried to get the connector to fit that dist.
You could also use your old distributor - really.

It seems you may have additional electrical problems, but you need to
resolve this one first.
