Hi tonykazla,
To replace the O ring, remove the distributor cap and note rotor position and pull out the distributor. The O ring is attached to the outside of the end. The distributor is fixed to go in in one position and noting where the rotor is to make the job easier as reverse installation by forcing it in can cause damage.
Ensure the distributor is seated fully before attempting to tighten.
Replacing the oil seal inside the distributor would be another story.
