Yes.
Olds 350 physical dimensions did not change during their production run. That means both distributors will interchange with each other.
I assume you're wanting to use the later model distributor to take advantage of the HEI over the conventional points style?

Yes I wanted to order a distributor and the only one that they had was for a 77 to a 79 they told me it would probably fit but I figure I hop on the form where I can find out real information lol

Yes, it will 110% fit. Just make sure it's for an OLDSMOBILE 5.7 , not a chevy and you're good to go.
