Need exact year of Chrysler 60's to 70's 75hp engine!

[mopardave]

I just purchased a Chrysler charger 183 that was an incomplete restoration project from a friend for $100.00 Everything about the year and model is missing on the hull.
I did however find the I.D. tag in the engine,it is a 75hp with a MagnaPowered ignition. Model# is 7574 Serial# is 2252
I'd like to know the exact year of it, so I can restore it but I have no idea what parts numbers are for anything before I start.
I cannot find the model and year in any index. I'd like a price on repair manual, rebuild kits, (i.g. impellor kit,seals, water pump, and all 3 carb rebuild kits.) Hopefully you folks can assist me with my project!
Thanks in advance Dave!

Hi sorry for the hurry'd post earlier today, I was heading out to work and forgot to thank the moderator's and members for thier vast contributions and shared knowledge on these old Chrysler's!
I tried to post the Model# of the 75hp engine but the tag was in poor condition making the correct i.d. next to impossable. I do however think the proper model# could be 757HA, I can almost make out the H and the A if I squint hard enough!
I'd also like to know if there is a place to buy charger 183 partsand accessory's for the hull??? I'm missing nearly everything and I'm being forced to contimplate machining/Fabricating these Items myself based on pic's I see on the net!Anyone know of a source for these parts, used but in decent condition preferably..

its a 1974 manual on disc on e bay ..I would look to checking compressions and sparks before you spend any money on it .....

For parts, go over to The Chrysler Crew, join, and advertise.

As far as engine year, post a couple of photos. especially of the lower unit and cowling. The lower unit will give a rough estimation of year and the cowling will give a closer guess based on graphics.
