 The true '73 engines(rope seal, #2760 & earlier) did not have an oil slinger.
The later ones with a rear crank seal housing did and there is a spring clip (about 10-11o'clock)on the slinger that is "supposed" to grab and "slightly" hold it in place. The shop manual suggest silicone, but that does not work very well.Try Permatex #2 around the clip, but again, it does not hold very securely, so you MUST be very careful when installing the rear housing so a "finger" does not get wedged(5-7 o'clock)
