I had that happen to me with my 75 trans am the tube would press where the back of the housing was, could not get the threads started correctly.....back in the late 90s I was a parts guy at a auto parts store, I searched every known catalog and found nothing that fit better eventually I was told by the warehouse who supplied us to "just bend the end to make it match what you have" being out of options I did tweek the end tube carefully and it worked ok, I was not looking for originality at the time just stopping a leak, I'm still confused how parts companies can take 3 or 4 different parts with different part numbers and consolidate them into "a one size fits all" part & part number. Frustrating.
