IML: AC Leak

["Philip Brust" <pbrust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On my 82, I replaced the receiver dryer and I'm having trouble with leaks at
the connection on both sides. Used for years, these connectors have a single
stud on each side of the receiver/dryer for fastening the connection. New
gaskets, of course. 

On my other Mopars, the connectors are flat to the sides of the
receiver/dryer; on this car, the connectors are pulled slightly toward the
stud side of the connection allowing some gap at the tubing side of the
flange.

I'm considering placing a small piece of gasket material under the stud side
as a shim to even things out but I know this was never in the design of the
components.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a tight connection?
