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!
