    drain plug gasket part numbers

    I'm looking for the part numbers for the drain and vent plug gaskets for a '54 10hp Johnson and a '56 15hp Johnson. They look like the same thing, but I know looks can be deceiving when it comes to parts. They almost look like the gaskets/washers for a '64 9.5 would fit, and I know the part...
