The stock distributor won't work with dual carns, but it should work. Back in the 50's I drove half way across the country with dual carbs on a 50 merc engine. Over heated all the way, Stopped at a garage in Indiana and the mechanic told me this. Fortunately I had the original intake and carb in the trunk . we installed ot amd I drove the rest of the way to Wisconsin with more power and better milage and the engine never got hot again..
