the screw looks to be what holds the rotor in place....i thought if the dizzy had 2 plugs it was obd1? im not 100% though.

That is the rotor screw. Locktite blue will hold it in fine if you have problems.
The distributor is fine. All the OBD2 or OBD1 b-series internals will work. No need to get another one.

you can rotate the distrubutor a little bit clockwise (retard) or counterclockwise (advance)...you should loosen the 3 dist. bolts and get a timing light and set it to stock ignition timing....just to make sure its ok when u take it in for tuning.

Distributor will work. 16 degrees. Good luck. Might want to get a manual while you are at it. Sounds like some basic things are still ahead of you.
