Johnson 5.5 HP Proper Impeller?

I am having a problem locating the proper impeller kit for my '62 Johnson 5.5 outboard, model number CD-19-S. I recently ordered what I thought was the right impeller kit (sierra #18-3202) but the impeller was way too big when compared to the old impeller. The wear plate matches the one that I have so I must be close. Has anyone else run across this? There must be two different impeller housings for this unit one for a large impeller and one for a small one? Is there a retrofit kit or housing that I can purchase to make this work. The part number on the impeller housing I have is 32359. Also I do not live close to a Johnson dealer so an online source would be best. <br /><br />Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Scott

It sounds to me like you have an updated waterpump, which take an impeller much smaller than the original. If so, it'll look something like this:<br /> Picture, new on the right, old on the left <br />If that's the case, try to find a part number on the old impeller, or be very clear with your dealer that you have the updated waterpump, and need an impeller for it. <br />OMC parts dealer, online
