Thanks Tom,
I remember being stuck in your '70 this past Spring. Luckily it
started after it cooled off. Mine seems to never start again, even if
you let it sit for hours. They just seem to burn out and never work
again.
I already bought a new (not rebuilt) starter today, but it's raining
pretty hard and unless it lets up I'll wait 'til tomorrow to try it.
It came with a shim, oddly enough. Maybe that's because it's new.
The guy in the parts store said that the remote solenoid is the best
way to go. It's certainly cheaper. This is one of the last mom & pop
type stores in my neighborhood. The kind where you can say that you
need a 3510 starter, and they don't need to ask you what year the car
is or what engine it has to know what you're talking about.

2 words....Mini Starter. You can get them for $95 off ebay. I put one
on my 70 after dealing with it taking a crap on me up at the CanAm show
this year in the parking lot of the hotel. Problem solved. Don't
waste $200 buying one off Jeg's or Summit or somewhere else..ebay has
them all day long for $95

Actually, I can remember my dad making a coffee can heat shield
when I was a kid. We had a '59 Impala and then a '64.
Quoting Brian Knight <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
John, for temporary use, find a suitable size can (coffee,etc.)
and trim to fit over the starter. This will reflect the heat, it
just looks bad.
