Re: 69 big block starter heat shield
Yep, Mr70, those shields were a pain. It was tough enough getting the solenoid wires connected after you rebuilt the starter or replaced the solenoid. The manifold was always hot, plenty of grease - just leave that shield off! Since I was in high school when I worked on 'em in the 70's, I'm sure I learned this "trick" from the full timers.
Why aren't there any around? We didn't save all that stuff at the station, we threw it in the garbage! It was junk! Dave

Re: 69 big block starter heat shield
Dave,
Didn't you have the foresight to see that these shields would be valuable 25 years in the future? Come on! I guess you also threw away SMOG system components too. Oh yeah, I did that too............ sorry!  When you sit down and actually think about this logically, I wonder how any of these sheilds survived the 1970's. Did anyone back then actually think there would be a future muscle car craze? Especially after the second gas crisis hit the US in 1979. Steve
