A/C compressor 300SD

I have researched and searched to no avail, or no luck.

I tried a GM style from auto zone and it would not seal,

so anyone know where i can get a compressor like this? With the flat mounting area and O-ring seal?

notice how the mounting area for the hose block is flush.

The new one I tried looks like this.

And the mounting area is recessed and stepped. It came with colored washer seals and two little spacers that will fit the center of the seal, but will go right into the compressor.

maybe it is me, but i could not make this combination work, and would like to find one like the first pic, at an affordable price?

How to Repair Your A is where i found the first two pics by the way.

btw pouring the oil in on the ground like in that pic did not work for me, as it just runs out in your face when you turn it up to install. I will probably pull a vaccum and use oil in a can through the gauges next time.
