Re: Effective rear main oil seal in a '57 283?
Before I did my seal replacement I did a lot of research on the subject. I came to believe that there is only one replacement seal available and that being the Best 3711X. Others sell it as there own. When they were first introduced, the kit contained the wires to make the seal fit tighter in the grooves. The wires were latter dropped, not sure why unless they made a newer, thicker version. All I know is that the no wire version fixed my oil leak. Good luck and let us know the outcome.
