I noticed different web-sites listing different sizes.

For a 97 351w Truck Vin H

The ring widths you need
Qty. (2) 1.5mm = .059 inches
Qty. (1) 4.0mm = .157 inches

The ring widths you have are
Qty. (2) 5/64 = .078 inches
Qty. (1) 3/16 = .187 inches

Here's a web-site showing the ring specs. which appears to be correct for your application.
