The one to the right is the correct one to use. Yours just doesn't have the spline drive in it, it is probably still lodged in the timing cover. No big deal.

so how do i remove it i tried pulling on it... it didnt seem to want to come out??

oh and do i remove it from the new unit and leave the old one in, or out of the timing cover?

the non-vented distributor that you bought is the correct part. what you are missing out of your original, is the actual splined drive for the distributor, its probably still sticking out of your timing cover. If its not, dont worry about it, the distributor that you bought already has the splined drive installed, so you are good to go.

Pull out whichever is easier (old or new, doesn't matter). Hopefully you found the answer you were looking for.
