Once it's running better you can try the vac line for the dist on either port of the carb.
Double check the advance function of the oem dist with a timing light, and see how it feels while driving.
When you try out the newer rebuilt distributor you'll have something else to compare to.
Whatever works best / feels better should be the way to go.

If you end up not using the oem '55 distributor and tach you could keep them with the car for the next owner, or not. I sure wouldn't have minded more original pieces with the one I have.
