Yes, but you may need a "button" spacer due to the difference in how much of the distributor sticks out the back. All the major suppliers sell this. You do know that the 46-8 distributor is a 2 bolt and you will need to change timing gear covers as the 40 is a 3 bolt one. There are also adapters instead of changing the timing gear cover but I would choose changing the cover.
