Best I can do J5 was built in 65,66,67.Generally J5 was 5 hp but some were 3hp.Clinton has been out of business for some time.The last reference in my 89 aftermarket service manual is 1980.

Do You Where To Get Parts? I Need A Fuel Pump Diaphram And The Fuel Connector. ARE THESE MOTORS OF ANY VALUE?

You might try discount marine parts.You might find the diaphram at a small engine shop.It may use a Chrysler connector.
In my opinion the motors were marginal when new.Noisy,vibrate,finicky
unerpowered.If it was mine I would part it out and put the money toward an Evinrude/Johnson 5,5.5,6,7.5 or 8 hp from the early 50s to the 80s.
