A note on the fuel filter inside the 455 or 403 carb.

It turns out that there are 2 different filter listed both by Ac Delco and Wix. In 1976 GM changed ALL filters of this type in all vehicles using that filter. The change was adding a little rubber flapper check valve on the entrance side of the filter.

Either filter will fit in all years of our 455 and 403 engines with Quadrajet carbs.

AC Delco GF441 or Wix 33048 is the one without the check valve. (pre 1976)
AC Delco GF471 or Wix 33052 is the later version with the internal check valve and cost $1.80 more. (listed as 1976 and later)

I did not check out other brands and I also have no recommendation on which version to use.
