I have a 1970 55 chrysler motor that will not pump water.
I finally figured out why... There is no plate between the impeller and lower unit. Whoever put this together, must have lost the part. I went to put a new impeller in it and realized it was missing.
I cannot seem to find anything other than the impeller for this motor.
The model is 557HA. Does anyone have a part# or even a used plate?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Jon

Try franzmarine@aol.com. Franz usually knows those parts off the back of his hand and should have one for you. Been a while since I had my 55 apart but I think there may also be a gasket under the plate, just like on the bigger engines.
