I've been wondering where you have been Foxbody.
My started is only inches away from the headers,probably just like yours since we both have the same body style and engine setup. The selenoid isn't near any heat and the starter was replaced 2 yrs ago but the car has been down since then until now.
I use the battery out of my '88 when I want to start it up so it's not that.
I recently installed a 100amp Powermaster alternator that eliminates the external regulator, so it can't be that either.
I usually have to wait 10-15 min. before it will kick over again. I thought maybe I could fabricate some sort of heat shield for the starter.
What about those mini starters? Would something like that work?
