Another KULTULZ 'FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE' EPISODE.

MPC - MASTER PARTS CATALOG - (Contains CHASSIS and BODY CATALOG - TEXT AND ILLUSTRATIONS)

ILL - ILLUSTRATION (or diagram)

Your catalog is correct (early edition). I found two updated ILL's (SEP 1959 and APR 1964. I have only those two editions.

The 59 edition shows the ILL (P-1865 / 9-60) and describing text as 'TYPICAL CRANKSHAFT, FLYWHEEL AND RELATED PARTS'.

The 64 edition shows the same ILL (P-1865 / 1-64) and describing text reads '1955/ CRANKSHAFT ...

Now both text sections show the slinger with a 1956 PREFIX PN.

So you can see how cataloging can vary over the years. BTW, each year MPC was printed in calendar quarters and included any updating/corrections.

So the catalog you have is correct. It (slinger) must have been added sometime during 1955 production.
