AC compressor fittings

[Marty Bricker <mbrickerusn@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I haven't seen any thread on this but Firestone is
saying the a/c in my daughters 83 Spirit won't hold a
charge because the service fittings are leaking.  I
tried to order new ones from Chrysler but the fitting
for the hose side is incompatible.  I purchased a set
off of Ebay that, supposedly, came off of a working
system but they said they also leak.  Before taking
the set I purchased in off of Ebay I cleaned them up
real well.  I didn't see any evidence of a rubber
fitting that would seat.  Has anyone had this problem
before and how have they fixed it?  Are new fittings
available anywhere?

PS  Firestone has been working this problem for over
two months and charged me almost $700. to replace the
hose and fix a leaking evap unit (so they say).  
PPS  This system worked great last summer
PPPS  I did tell them to ensure the valve was fully
open or closed and they said it still leaked
