    Help. Can't find water pump housing for 85 hp 69-72

    I have looked everywhere for a water pump kit for a 85 els-70d, 1969-1972. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The oldest I can find is for 1973. Impellers are every where, but I cannot find a housing. I would prefer a whole kit, but can get by with a housing and impeller.
