I would suggest this bronze housing. They might be close to you. I also had leaks with mine, and switched to this and am happy. A couple people on the site use them.
SoCal Packard TstatHousing But like Mal said, the two surfaces that mate together should be as clean and flat as possible. This might require some sanding or filing. This is a classic example of something that seems so easy, "only 2 bolts!" but can be frustrating and difficult to get perfect.
Did you try sitting the housing on the mating surface and see how it looks with no gasket? Are both surfaces perfectly flat? Is the housing warped where the 2 bolts go through?
Hang in there, you will get it right.
