Accumulator nipple length info needed.

I'm trying to replace my accumulator and the new one I got has a shorter nipple than the original one. I have a NOS accumulator that I'm saving for the Anniversary car if one is ever needed for it and the instructions included in the box say using the wrong nipple length accumulator can damage the pump. It appears that there is a spring in the pump that would make contact with the longer nipple, but won't reach the shorter one.

I tried searching for the answer, but the search feature isn't working. Does anyone definitively know that the shorter nipple accumulator will work in-place of the longer nipple accumulator??
 
I guess there was just some issues with the site. Anyway, I did find a thread stating that the short nipple accumulator did work where a long nipple accumulator came stock. It does appear to work.
