Welcome aboard, Andrew Lane

You have a thread of your own after moving this out of an inactive thread. Please take a look at the Help Tip on top of the page.

I don't know much about Chryslers, but some motors have serial numbers in more than one place. You may need to post some photos after you make 3 post.

ID plate should be in the lower cowl infront of the carbs to the right.

If not plate the engine block should have a circle in the casting with the year in the center.
I think it is somewhere at the cylinder casting at the back.

The 75 was made from 75-84
1980 they went to a 1 piece lower unit.
​Pics of the gear case and the electronics will help.
​Under the bottom carb on the intake is a foundry stamp.
​If It says 79 in the center that was the year it was made.
​Not the year it was used. I had an 88 that was made in 87 and sold in 88.

To add pics you need to use a photo sharing site, something like shutterfly ETC.
Just 3 posts?? I thought it was 5?? Learned something new.

A pic of the lower unit and the ignition will tell us a lot.
​Most parts are available.
