Using a single point distributor in my 240z

[commplexone]

I have replaced the distributor in my older mopar's before but never in a z. I need to put a new distributor in my 1972 240z and have located a brand new oem single point distributor in my area. Can i run this distributor for a few weeks until i convert it to electric with a pertronix kit? If yes, any advice in how to change the distributor properly and gap the point would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your information in advance.

Is your car an automatic? Because the manual transmission 240Zs all came with single-point ignitions, the automatics had dual-point.
