OP
Hallmac,
WOW, a web page, just for me?!? Why thank you so much.
After looking at the pictures of the three types I'd have to say that the original one looked like the one at the top of the pic on the right side of the page and the second one I put in looks like the one at the bottom of the same pic. What's the differance between the one at top of that same pic and the one in the middle? They look a lot alike. Are all three interchangable or are they made for specific gauge types?
Thanks for all the help.

after seeing what you you have been using I would recomment using the one in the middle when you assemble your SPG. I believe you are having a distance problem.
To explain, the picture on the left is rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. The first one you had has a large metal flange out wards from the o-ring (left spool, end closest to bottom of left picture). The second one you used which is generally the strongest also has a metal flange outwards but is rounded off to match the cup in the hose. The one in the middle has a T flange that the o-ring sets on.
All three are interchangable. Like I said before in reality all three are the same length. In functionality the middle one acts smaller because to place it into a bind the deepest part of the cup in the hose and the guage have to contact the spool.
Hope that helps a little.
