I don't think you put the rear seal in correctly.  JH Service Bulletin 74-9 says  the seal is to be inserted from the outer (rear) face of the casting, not the inside.  The gap between the inner and outer lips of the seal is to face toward the inner (front) face of the casting.  If you start the seal manually, then place a length of 2x4 on its flat surface, you should be able to seat it to the proper depth with just a few raps of a hammer on the 2x4.

The oil slinger is shown in the cylinder block drawing, not the crankshaft drawing.  It's item #36 in drawing http://www.web-masters.com/gms/cyl_blk_a.html .  I think I''ve also managed to attach a copy of the drawing to this post.


BTW, my car is #16371.
