Jack,

I could not get the big fat flat o-ring that came with the conversion to
work.  It was too fat to slip into the groove.  I ended up using a the
biggest ring from a unused cartridge filter.... the kind you would put in
the groove for the old element and canister.

It turns out I still have my oil leak.... but it must be coming from the
oil pressure line.   I have to get the car up on a lift, clean it off and
watch for the leak to start.   It is somewhere at or north of the oil
filter housing.
