The ‘73-‘74 455 SD (and the ‘69 RAV 400) uses a larger diameter distributor drive gear than standard engines therefore the distributor base and the bore in the block are larger, a standard distributor gasket won’t work.
One could get their hands on a couple of different diameter pieces of steel tubing and make them into gasket cutting tools by sharpening the ends and buy some gasket material to make their own gaskets.
