Yes, you should be very careful to find out exactly what outdrive you have so you can buy the correct parts and use the appropriate repair proceedure.

Re: Impeller Question

Being as it's an 87, and a 120, it has to be an Alpha I outdrive.
Here is a link to an online service manual for your outdrive.

Just scroll down to the outline page and click on the section letter you want to view.
Section 3B shows the raw water pump.
