Correct me if I'm wrong, but in 1978 Force was still called "Chrysler" -- it hadn't been sold to US Marine yet. Something seems askew here.<br /><br />Is the engine white or black? Does the exhaust come out the prop hub, or from the cavitation plate? Does it have standard or electronic ignition?<br /><br />These clues might help make a rough determination of its actual age.

Your engine is a 89. It has a Prestolite CD <br />Ignition system. The reason I know this is I have a 50 force that I'm trying to find used parts for without buying new parts the engine<br />just isn't worth it. My 50 force model is 507y8c. Both engines were made in the same plant. If you need any farther help I have the manuals.
