    Mine is in a ’68, even though the ’68 parts manual doesn’t show it. My o-ring is in pretty good condition, although slightly flat. I was wondering if it was some kind of additional slinger but I don’t know where it would sling anthing TO. Maybe it acts as a kind of labyrinth seal.

    Long live American manufacturing!
