1963-1966 Front Crank Seal Question
 

I am currently doing the timing cover modification on my '58 Chieftain to allow for a '63-66 front crank seal to be used instead of the older-style cork and spring washer style that is original.

I'm curious to know if they ever made this front crank seal with a flange on it to use or is the standard style the only option? If they did make one with a flange, does anyone happen to have a manufacturer and part #? The National part # for the standard one is #332062 or GM #544452.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Why is it you want one with a flange?

Are you taking about having a flange on the balancer side?

From what I can tell with the two part numbers you listed those are for 67 and up motors and have no flange .

My guess is they have no flange because the newer timing covers had a internal lip that stops the seal from being driven in too deep, and this means they do not need a flange.

TCS133833 Felpro timing cover gasket set does have a flanged crank seal. Sorry, I do not have the number for just the Felpro seal in the kit.

If you get your hands on the box that the fel pro TCS set comes in I believe it will list the part number of the seal on it.

Nope, current kit packaging does not list any part #'s for contents like the boxed kits from bygone days used to..... that would be too easy.

Yes, the top end set I have sitting here is a pretty old one, I was hoping.
