Which distributor for TPI ZZ4 ?

I have a 1988 305 TPI which is getting a new ZZ4.
Can I just swap over my current distributor with no mods?
If so, what should I check for wear on the distributor?
Am I likely to see any significant benefit by going to an aftermarket product?

From: Littleton, CO USA
Car: 82 Berlinetta/57 Bel Air
Engine: L92/LQ4 (both w/4" stroke)
Transmission: 4L80E/4L80E
Axle/Gears: 12B-3.73/9"-3.89
Both have a factory roller cam, which requires use of a melonized distributor drive gear - which the 88 will have.

Your original distributor will be fine. The typical upgrades wouldn't hurt.
