A better ideal would be to try local boat junkyards if you have one in your area. The problem with this engine is if you can fine parts for them people want an arm, leg and first born child for them. Sometimes you can find a complete motor that has been blown up for $100.<br />Be very careful with that strange looking keyway if it is install wrong it will break and strip out the key way on the shaft. There is a place in Richmond Virginia that still carries parts for this old motor, but they are proud of them and charge a good price. I do not remember the name of the place through, sorry.

NAPA automotive may have new coils for the motor (by Sierra). As Tufftango points out, look for a source for used parts -- and a parts motor is a great idea. There are a lot of Chryslers around, and they can often be had quite inexpensively.

I'm very far away from you, but the mail service is fabulous in this day and age, checkout www.goldenseal.com.au in Australia, they have what ever you need for your Chrysler, new parts and good prices. I've bought coils for my Chrysler 55 for around 35 Aussie bucks each, divide that by two for USA dollars.<br />Good luck

Here's a place where I got parts for my 70HP Chrysler. They have new and used and the prices seemed pretty fair to me. They don't ship to Canada so you'll need to send them to someone in the US first.<br /> http://www.fairwindsmarina.com/chryslerpage.htm
