Default Another Tune up Question

I am in the middle of a major tune up, replaced everything. I have a question about the Vacuum advance can. What is the coorect one for my car. I have:

1969
350 / 300hp
with a mild cam (according to previous owner) whatever that means

The advance that is on there now is stamped with a 350
The one I bought from local corvette store is B10

According to one of Lar's papers, my car should have a B9, There is no B10 listed.

Is a B10 ok to put on?

Hello,
I did not see a B10 on my parts list either. I found a B1 which lists a 1969 or 1970 corvette engine. The paper shows the B9 can is used except for high performance.

VC1605 B9 7-9 10.3 @ 16-18
1965 327 All Exc. FI

1969-70 Corvette 350 Exc. High Perf.

VC680 B1 1959 – 63 8-11 8 @ 16-18
1969 Corvette 427 High Perf.
