two different styles of distributor caps?

[86mud]

Hi all

I ordered a new distributor cap and rotor for my standard 186 distributor. When it arrived in the mail the other day, i was a little shocked to see it was the style with the male type fitting ie, similar to a spark plug end.

This is what I got:

The only down side to this that I can see is that the ignition lead end caps are a little "fat" and will not provide a tight seal.

Is this ok to use or should i return it and get and other style of cap with female fittings like this:

Either style is fine, but you have to have the spark plug leads to suit.
