penn 501 and newell 322 are "the same" as far as spool, bars, and seat.
if newell still had parts available you could just order everything and slap it on your penn. but i thought the scavenger hunt for parts was a good way to make it through winter!

Go to pennparts.com and get the stainless gear sleeve if you plan on drag over 8 lbs. about $25 but worth it totally
