Needing a '57 7.5hp head gasket part #

[jbjennings]

Guys,
My '57 7.5 johnson is purring like a kitten but my little '57 evinrude 7.5 wouldn't pump water after a new impeller. I then took the head and exhaust gaskets off to check the water passages. They were pretty dirty. Anyone know a part # for the head gasket and exhaust gasket? Is there a website with diagrams that go back that far? I despise having to wait on parts!
Thanks,
JBJ

I only have the head gasket number for the '56 Evinrude 7.5 and it's 203034.

Steve,
That worthless F-R sent me the whole parts manual for my '57 evinrude instead of just answering my part # Quest.
I could be persuaded into sending you a copy for 20 or 30 bucks if F-R doesn't mind.
Later,
JBJ

Conveniently, the 1954-58 7.5 hp motors all share the same powerhead and lower unit.
