Does anyone know where I can find seals for the lower unit on a 1973 Chrysler
6hp. The motor looks and runs great put a new impeller in it so pumps water good but
lower unit seems to be leaking around the drive shaft.
Thanks,
Doug

I’d say Ben Dittmar is a guy that would know. He’ll probably be along with your answer before long.

Did you have any luck with this yet? If not, I may be able to get a part number out of some ancient microfiche. MercNet’s Chrysler archive only goes back to 1976; but if it’s the same number part, there are a few of them on eBay.

Long live American manufacturing!

Or this? Model numbers are important. Especially with Chrysler Sea Kings, because there were so darn many of them. This is a 1973 model VWB27400

Sorry it’s been a long week. I have to admit I have never tried to buy one I just have been getting them from my stock and now I am out of them.
The Chrysler part number is 318307 and I can’t find the Sierra of Force number for the seal.
I will keep digging.

Thanks for the part number will see what I can find, let me know if you find a part number that will cross with that.
This thing looks and runs way to good to let it keep leaking. Came from a friend had been his dad’s, in storage since about 78. Carb was spotless. Impeller had taken a bad set, new one pumping great. Rebuilt the fuel pump and replaced the lines and condenser.

Yeah, that’s the one….318307. Just put an "F" (for Force") in front of it and they are all over eBay.
