West Bend is West Bend.Purchased by Chrysler circa 65.
It is possible early Chrysler parts might fit.
Chrysler later became Force circa 85.
If you have the model number,hp etc. we may be able to tell if
it resembles any Chryslers.

Just to give you an idea and some encouragement, lower end parts from 1979 were compatible with with my 1965 motor. Chrysler wasn't quick on trying to re-invent the wheel. When they had something that worked they stuck with it. Try and find this kind of backward compatability with any other manufacturer.
