Default Gen VI Mag piston rings?

I am re-ringing a 1996 454 Magnum MPI and the rings I bought don't fit on the oil ring side. I looked on here and found a few posts but I want to be sure before I buy another set of rings. What rings have the low tension oil rings needed? I am still using the standard bore too.

Sean,

They might be a metric ring setup. They are not low tension, but have a shallow oil ring groove. Probably Hastings 2M4718 Your machine shop should be able to measure them for you and probably can get you the rings as cheap as anyone else.
