Distributor gears

In my car I have a carbed 350" engine with a flat tappet cam and a HEI vacuum advance distributor. I am swapping TPI onto the engine and have a stock distributor out of a 1991 Trans Am. I was going to swap distributor gears over from each distributor but when I took them off, the shaft diameters are different.

Can I use a 1991 distributor with a gear for a roller cam in a engine with a flat tappet cam?
