    Yes, measure the OD of the prop shaft seal. There were a couple of different diameters over the years. Sometimes, in the long time these motors have been kicking around, the gear sets get swapped, along with the aft bearing carrier that holds the seal. Don’t just assume you have an OEM 1957 diameter seal, there.

    Long live American manufacturing!
