Can any tell me what is correct starter number for a w 72 4 speed 400 for 1978 is it the same as a 403? I bought a 1108361 dated August 03,1977 and wondering if it's correct. The man that sold me it said it was in his 78 w 72 400 and he is trust worthy. But I'm clueless I'd it's correct. And alternator us puzzling too. Is it suppose to be a 51 or 63 amp. I have ac and rear defogg. Wallace racing site isn't accurate. Thanks

1978 Olds 403 (K) B and F series uses #1109072 10MT starter with #1114489 solenoid.

1978 Pontiac400 (Z) B and F series uses #1108759 10MT starter with #1114470 solenoid.

1978 F 400, 403 V-8
w/AC or w/HBL uses 61 amp generator #1102486, (2nd production uses 63 amp #1102854).
w/AC + HBL or H.D. uses 63 amp generator #1102854.

Starter #1108361 was used on 1969-70 GMC Trucks w/6-cyl 292 cui and V8-350 w/P.G. Now a "Frankenstarter" with Pontiac-nose.

Thank you for the info I did buy a 1108361 from a retired sheriff and he said it was on his w 72 400. so its a frankenstarter lol is that a factory replacement thing? and my ta is 1978 w 72 400 4 speed with ac and rear defogg plus power windows assembled in 11 d of 1977 so correct alternator is 1280? 61 amp? what is second production?

Your alternator would have been the 63 amp 1102854. AC plus HBL = heated back light (rear defog/electric grid glass).
