8hp Firestone outboard

[Fisherman671]

I recently bought an 8hp Firestone.
serial # : 1104
stock# :10-A-132

I got it running but the cylinders were getting too hot. I thought it was the water pump so i dropped the lower unit to check it out. when I got down to the pump it was just what I accpected. The impeller was shot.

Does anyone know where I can find an impeller for a 60's model firestone 8hp?
i think the part # for it is P01060-2 but im not sure.
Also is there anything I should know about the Firestone 8hp?

1960 8 hp built by West Bend.There is a slim chance early Chrysler 5-8 hp pump will fit.Just a guess.They are covered in the same chapter of my aftermarket manual.
