Prob wouldnt be a bad idea to to a little test fit and chuck up the air drill. See if you can get a peek down in tbe valley and make sure your not bleeding off too much lifter galley oil from the dist housing there . Plus if you have a slip collar now you will know its where its supposed to be

If the block is machines for o-rings I would use them. The distributor is a critical part of the oiling system for the right bank top end oiling. I've seen many motors that didn't have the distributor shaft lined up properly to the oil galley resulting in oblonged lifter bores and bad lifters.
It would be very simple to machine the new distributor shaft to accept the o-rings if needed.
