Ok got my new impeller in the housing and dumb me turned the shaft without it bolted down and it popped out now I can't remember which way the fins were suppose to point. I think I have it right. With the housing flipped over I have all the fins pointing in a clockwise direction. Is this correct. Also I do not see any seals in the tube off the pump. This is a old r model drive pre alpha. Is this drive supposed to have o rings in there

Another way to look at it if you install the impeller in the housing by hand , push down and turn it to the left. this will have the fins going top the right, clockwise.
There is a rubber seal in the top of the pump housing to accept the copper water tube. The plastic guide tube just pushes in the top of the housing

Even though that isn't the same housing it's opposite of what he needs to do

Ok got the impeller in right but I do not see a seal on the pump housing nor did my kit come with one. I just have the big fat or ring that goes over the shaft down onto the pump housing. Anybody have a pic of this seal. Unless that seal is for the tube. Again this a old r drive
