Paul:

On question #3, the 403 cid engine was an option in 1977 and the only one in
1978.

Could someone direct me to web info or provide answers to:

1. What is the Mobil 1 oil filter for '77 GMC 455? Is there one
that is larger in capacity that will fit? I want to try the Mobil
1 filter with Mobil 1 oil at next change, and I want as much
filtering capacity as I can get even with Mobil 1.

2. What year car do I use as a reference for the parts guys to
get exact, correct spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor,
coil & tune up parts? Does anyone have the replacement AC part
#s? Can I just replace these parts without major adjustments or
without having to rebuild, recurve, etc. the distributor?

3. Does anyone know when the "last 455" was sold? My '77 is
serial # 740 & it has 455 that I think is original. What is
the first serial # of the 403 engine or were both engine sizes
available during '77 production? Dave, does the registry
provide any info on this subject?

Inquiring minds just like trivia questions.


Paul in San Angelo
Would just like to know

I don't think there was anything optional about the 403ci engine, Paul

Dave:

Not sure what you're telling me?

My understanding is that the 403 engine in 1977 was an available option? Is
that incorrect??
