Atomarc,
You are correct, I was trying to go by memory. After reading your post, the ferrule I remember was at the oil distributor end.
You are also correct, in that NAPA doesn't supply the parts needed. (Been there and checked that!) I also checked all of the other national auto parts and hardware chains, with no success.
I share your opinion that it uses no sealant, i.e. teflon tape, and still believe that it may have contributed to the leaking.
Tom, I apologize for the mis-information.
I'm rather surprised you're having so much difficulty. Perhaps I was just lucky, but when I replaced mine, it was a rather simple 15 minute task.
I'm not sure where you bought the kit, but the one I used was from Jim Carter's. Had everything (and more) that I needed to get the job done.
Been close to 2-years and not a drop of leakage.
