Does anyone know the part number for the lower unit seals for a '79 chrysler 140 hp, most websites seem to not include all the years or HP's in their list of applications, don't wanna order the wrong kit.

their part number comes up as:
#1911
18-2632 FOR 1980-83 75HP, 1980-89 85HP, 1983 90HP & 1979-83 105HP

is that the same lu as my 140?

I believe we established in an earlier post that your lower unit is a one piece lower. ---NO shear pin drive on the prop and water pick ups on the side of the gearcase torpedo. Only minor changes were made to this lower unit so the seal is the same for almost all 3 and 4 cylinder engines from 1979 1/2 to 1989. They changed the drive shaft, water pump and probably the seal in 1990.

So if you have the one piece lower unit, then the seal is the correct one.

that'd be the one, thanks. I've never attempted this job before, how tough is it? A shop quoted me 5 hours @ $94 an hour.
