I only had one outer ring. I had a thick and a thin inner ring. The one
outer ring was the same thickness as the prior ring from the canister
filter. I think I have solved the problem by using the ring and then
adding a bead of hi-temp, nonhardening silicon gasket maker. It has sealed
and eliminated the leak. I just hope it'll peal off if I ever need to.
Thanks for your note.

Jim-
I recently installed the Mocal spin on unit on my 74 without a problem.
There
were two large rings, a thin and a thick one. I used the thick one alone. I
also
noticed the old sealing ring that I removed when I pulled off the stock oil
filter cover was identical to the thick ring in the spin on kit. If you
used the
thin ring I'd suggest you try again with the thick one. Make sure you have
removed the old ring. If all else fails, maybe you could use both the thick
and
thin rings?
