I had my '82 out for a quick test drive yesterday and I quickly remembered that it always had a "hot starting" problem. I have BBK shorty headers and they are pretty close to the starter. I have the starter wrapped with header wrap to keep it cool but it doesn't seem to work. What I really need is a heat shield. Does anyone know if they make a shield for a 351W.
Does anyone else have this problem?
