I agree with making sure the gasket is flat and SEATED then tighten up making sure the lip goes in were it seats. I just changed my filter on my 55 New Yorker and it work great following these steps. On Mitchell Motor Parts I would not deal with them for several reasons but one I will share with you, about 10 years ago I brought an NOS Chrome grill from them and when it came in the mail there was a old metal wiper arm in the box and the grill was all scratched up and there was also some signs of small pitting. I called them about it and they keep telling me they would call me back. Well after a while I gave up and to this day when I polish the front of the car I think of them, good luck on the filter.
