It was the o-ring. Took the manifold back off and crawled in there and could see the o-ring. Got it out in two pieces, it was real hard and 47 years old. Replaced it and it all went together. I'm glad I didn't just force the tube in and push the ring into the pan, it was surprisingly hard when I pushed on the tube and felt like a metal lip or something.
