I was wondering if it is important to use the type of o rings that come on slant originally (square type) or can I just use regular round o rings. Cant stop them from leaking with originals. Anyone have any info on where to pick some up. Thanks for any help.

Guessing you're talking about the spark plug tube seals. When you say you can't stop the leaking with the originals, do you mean the old originals, or new original-type seals?

I didn't try anything fancy--went to partsamerica--& purchased the on hand "o" rings-- worked great--- no more leaks & cost less than $6. I do not know what brand or part number.They were some type of gasket material vs a rubber "O" ring. The car is a 62 valiant with a 1965 -225. This is just my experience. Lawrence

Also you need to remove the crush washers on you spark plugs. ( if it was not done for years and now you do it it can cause a leak because the drool tube is bent)
