Re: sea king motor

Try napa auto parts. they have a marine book there. Bring the points with and match them up in the book. I have a 1960 60 hp sea king and I went to napa and got my points and condensor. My motor was made by OMC so thats where i looked in the book. good luck, should be no problem though.

Re: sea king motor

I have a 1962 Sea-King 5.5 and it also is made by omc.So i just buy my parts from my johnson dealer.It should tell on the I.D. tag who made your motor.

Re: sea king motor

Your 69 sea king, or any sea king with serial number beginning with vwb is a West Bend/Chrysler product. Don't know if NAPA can get parts for it through the Sierra Marine line as they do for older Kings made by OMC/Gale. You may have to check with a marina or boat repair place that does Chrylers/Force motors. Good luck. Also check the ebay motors/boats/parts and repair pages. Lots of stuff shows up there.

Re: sea king motor

NAPA carries some Chrysler parts (Sierra aftermarket), and would likely have a tuneup kit. Try to get a marine catalogue, but if they won't part with one you can still peruse the store copy (probably with the counterperson if you are trying to match parts). There is a Chrysler outboard section in the catalogue.
