[V8] Distributor seals

[Chris Williams]

The distributor is only on the rear of the head, are we talking bout the same thing? I'm lost on the front and back thing.

I have the drivers side off and replaced the Dist seal the thicker green one but it still leaks. If I remove the dist and the plate (which should be leaking) what seals do I need?   
 I have 1 dist seal (green thick one) and one thinner but larger diameter seal (blue one, square cut)

No you don't need two large for one side.  Here is the breakdown:

Drivers front - one small one large
Drivers rear - one large
Pass Front - one large
Pass Rear - one small one large

This is from memory so don't get mad if I'm not right.  Good luck.
