Having some issues. I got the front end tore down and for some reason I can't find a crank seal that fits my timing chain cover. I've tried car quest, auto zone and online. None fit and no one has any idea so I figured I would turn to the experts. anyone have an idea? I've got a 72 Buick Skylark with a 350. Definitely a Buick motor and the timing chain cover is stamped Buick. The second picture is the seal everyone keeps coming up with.

I appreciate the help. The one in the picture is the timken from rockauto. It's still about 1/2" larger than what I need. None of the computers come up the right one.
Call T/A or take and OD, ID, and height and go to a bearing supply house for a 2.95 seal. With RA yer gonna deal with Johnny Pimplepopper for 2 weeks back and forth. ws http://www.taperformance.com/proddetail.asp?prod=TA_1513
I really appreciate the help everyone. Its looking like that's what I'll do right now. Seems to be the best option. And I agree with Bill about RA.
Got it on order. They were really helpful and knew what I was looking for. Price for the part wasn't bad but the shipping hurt a little. $11 for the seal and $10 to ship USPS.
Unfortunately these days, thats 1.50 for the USPS and 8.50 for the box and handling. I'd take the chance on a padded envelope for a seal. Thats why I really try to keep it local. That bites me sometimes but face time is worth something. ws
