Mini Starter Don't fit
I can not get it to clear the header. I have the option of rolling it 360 degrees, And it just will not fit in any position. Is the starter wrong? Or do I need a new set of headers?

He has the Flowtech's, which have let me down more than once too, I ordered a Flowtech offroad for my wifes cay and it didn't fit, I had to bang the sh*t out of it and then rig it not to clang on the crossover after the install, Flowtech sucks. Went and bought a Mac after all of that.

Now I have a new problem. The springs that came with the coil over kit, are the wrong lenght and rate. I have 12" 125lb springs, and they say I need 14" 150lb. So again we wait.
What header will clear the starter?

I'm assuming you have long tubes?
If so, I had a similiar problem installing the mini starter with my Texas Turbo long tubes. Its been some time since I did the install, but I recall doing a lot of swearing and finally was able to get it to fit by loosening the header bolts, which allowed the starter to clear, then I tightened the header back down and it cleared fine. |
