Default L98 Distributor Question & Compatability

Have an 87' C4 base model vette that had a partially dismantled motor w/o a factory distributor - was cheaper to get a complete pan to intake motor from a low milage 91' to get it back on the road........

Does anyone know if the distributors from an 87' and a 91' are identical mechanically and electrically?

I'm seeing mixed information on parts when I try to cross reference the two years 87' with 91'. I want this distributor to work as a plug and play solution with my 87 harness and computer (without modifications).
