Whatever.

Thanks for the response I was simply stating for ME that it did not work. Are you using M pump DV holders? Maybe they sent me the wrong #6 ORB fitting, but looking up the specs for it... it seems too small for the MW pump DV holders I got.

The delivery valve holder is off an '83 300D which I believe is the MW pump. The part I ordered from NAPA was a #6 O Ring Boss with a 1/4" NPT male end.

The delivery valve holder threaded into the ORB with teflon tape, but it did not tighten down hard, like the NPT fittings which I believe have a taper. I had asked the guy at NAPA when I picked up the ORB if I needed an O ring and he said no. Guess he was wrong.

The fitting leaked the first time I tried the tester, so I went to the hardware store and eyeballed a couple of O rings and one of them fit. Inserted the O ring in the boss, tightened the fitting and it is now leak free.

Now if I could just solve the slight seep that I have where the big center nut meets the jack body, the tester would be all buttoned up. I wonder if that metal on metal fit is meant to hold fluids (like diesel), especially when the reservoir is higher than the joint.
