I can not help you with the number, but I can tell you that they are no longer available. You can find them on e bay or craigs list ocassionally, but they are generally expensive. If you want tilt and trim the best thing is to find a CMC unit and mount your motor to it. They are around 500 new which is close to what you would pay for a used factory unit

I think this is the original system. It came with two different motors depending upon which day of the week it was assembled. The calco motor as in this auction is crud. Avoid it like the plague. It's just going to end up costing you an extra $200 someday because you don't have a rebuildable core. The other motor is a prestolite. The electrical cable comes out of the side on a prestolite and out of the top on a calco. The non-waterproof version of prestolite was also used on OMC stringer, a nearly identical waterproof version was used on Volvo and mercuruiser, and a very similar waterproof version was used on Chrysler - which makes the prestolite cheap and easy to get rebuilt. Same system as in auction but a different motor. (don't buy this auction).
