Default Dist. gear help

Hey all I installed a new comp cam in my 95gt and have a question about the dizzy gear. I was informed that when installing a new cam that you also want to install a new dist. gear. I bought one from napa because summit couldn't get me one to fit a stock dist. This one from napa is iron and it only has one hole drilled in it for the roll pin. I have heard that it is ok to use an iron dist gear with a roller comp cam but what about only having one hole in it for the pin? my original gear had a hole in both sides. How am i supposed to install this? I looked around a bit on the sight but couldn't find anything to answer my questions. all help is appreciated!
