Q about starter heat shields

You're going to have to find TDC first and then install the tape.
In other words, "zero" on the tape need to match up with actual TDC on the balancer. So, yes, it can be installed wrong.
BTW, I'm about 20miles from Knoebles.

So what are you going to do? Get a mini starter?

I think I'll try the heat wrap first, and try checking some junkyards for a decent priced mini, I dont drive the stang too much right now, being that the tires are damn near bald, and the shitty weather.
