Bob, which engine seals did you use? I can't think of anything  that's 
about right, other than the O-rings for between the case halves.  
Those aren't flat, so that's not an ideal solution. I probably have  
correct wiper seals of both styles.
 
 
I believe they were in fact engine case half seals. they worked great for  
that spot, since both ends of the wiper shaft bushing get a stainless steel  
flat washer for the seals to compress against. You use 1 on each side of  
the opening, per side (4 total). With the cost of a complete gasket kit being 
 what they are, it's really a cheap solution. I only say that, as there's 
no  drilling of the cowl required for the new larger seals that the later 
cars  used, as the OD of the bushing on later cars is larger in diameter (so  
you can't use the original early seals).
