Default Needing a new set of O rings to complete my LT1 fuel rail rebuild, will these work?

I was informed by my local Chevy dealer that the necessary O rings to complete my LT1 fuel rail rebuild are nolonger available, this led me to searching the internet for O rings and look what I found at amazon.com.
they advertise these O rings as being gas proof, so check out the advertiesment and afterwards give me your opinion. Is this a na or ya?

all ears here - i'm in the same boat for the o-rings. seems like the two o-rings for the (LT1) fuel pressure regulator are also discontinued. haven't tried NAPA, autozone, advanced auto, etc.

If I were fooling with my fuel system I would call Jon at FIC. He'll know. His number has been listed more than once.

My local NAPA store was my 1st stop and it was a no go that's what led me to my local Chevy dealer who informed me that these parts had been discountinued. Now my local O'Rilley"formerly known as Kragan" dose have these O rings on a individual bases so they will be my next stop in my quest to complete my fuel rail rebuild project.
