Welcome to FTE!

W = 361 2BBL "Low propane gas" Domestic Special Order engine. (MY '73 to '77. This code was also used for the 361 4BBL "Low propane gas" for MY '76 to '78)

It's an FT engine and appears it might have been converted back to gasoline? (Based on the non-eom air cleaner)

thanks! It is still ran on propane. Trying to get it running but the wiring is a mess and the starter is bad(post spun). Needing a new starter. Rockauto says AC Delco 336-1007 fits but it also says it fits the light duty trucks, and I believe they use different starters. It has an Allison AT545

It seems the FT will use an FE starter, but as OEM they were different part numbers iirc.

Post 2 for FT number, post 4 for a link to another thread where the FE on FT starter is discussed.
