Was this Nyalac? The clear coating often found on cast iron? I don't mean
Cosmoline, which is temporary, but Nyalac. I think it's been around for years.
You can still get it through Eastwood.

If anyone needs to look up seals, just check through your parts book and get me
the Chrysler part number for the seal. I have several cross-reference catalogs
at home, and nearly every seal seems to be available. Example: Front and rear
torqueflite seals, through Kanters: $40. Through Pep Boys: $9.50 Seals go by
size and shape, which makes them easy to match up.
