Sometimes rebuilders install the incorrect nose and they don't fit right. Check the teeth on the ring gear as they could be damaged and be contributing to the problem. Also some headers cause starters to overheat, you may need to install some kind of insulation material if this is the problem.

The HD starter has 2 terms. comeing out of the starter that connect to the selinoid. It will have a spacer between these terms. & selinoid. You may need a sheild over the selinoid &/or the starter. A lot of guys use those small gear reduction starters with headers. I've never used one but the say they are stout.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
