I'm looking at a 1979 T/A. I need to know if it is an original motor and if it is the Pontaic motor. Any help ?
Thanks |

If the car still has the original motor you can narrow down the motor by whether the car is an auto or 4-speed. All 400s were 4-speeds in 1979. If the car is an automatic it is either going to be a 301 or 403. The 301 can easily be identified by "01" heads and a single plane intake. The 403 has a "flat" intake with a fill tube coming out of the front of the intake. Of course you could look at the shaker identifications: 6.6 T/A = 400, 4.9 T/A = 301, 6.6 litre = 403. From your question I am going to guess you are not sure what a pontiac looks like so here is a pic.

'79 Pwh 400 has block VIN stamped up by the Pwh stamping, very easy to read.

You can tell if it's a Ols 403 engine by the oil filler is right above the water pump.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
