Need part number for aftermarket timing cover front seal

I need the part number for the front seal that fits the aftermarket timing cover. It installs from the front opposed to the inside of the cover like the factory cover. Did a search and didn't come up with anything definite. Thanks!

FYI - The 472319 was a no go. The housing diameter in the aftermarket timing cover is 2.750", same the factory cover only the housing for the seal is on the inside. The 472319 was 2.623" making it way too small.

What is really needed, is a seal the same size as the factory specs, without the 'lip' on it which doesn't allow you to install it properly on the outside of the cover.

The 6573 seal has the same dimensions as a seal I already tried. The housing bore is 2.750" and the 6573 has an OD of 2.6270"

Still can't find a seal for this motor.

I've used the Silver Seals before.
I dunno what you have going, but,

The lipless seals are rear axle seals.

Edit:

Just measured both the Silver Seal, and Car Quest seals, they both have the 2.6 OD..

What brand is that cover you have?.

Thanks for the offer but I got it taken care of this weekend. The correct seal was direct from Silverseal, part # B231-710613. KDK Performance had it in stock, thanks Kevin!

So when rebuilding or freshening the motor & the cover is removed a fresh seal should go on & this is the correct one for the aftermarket covers? Seems like having a spare would be a good idea!
