Thanks Bill,
I will order a heat shield for now and will probably eventually switch
to a mini-starter. I need to see if my block is drilled for the
straight bolt pattern or only the offset pattern. It seems like at
least some of the mini-starters are only available for the straight
pattern and my current starter is offset.
I'm not convinced that the Ford solenoid does anything except prevent
the small wire(s) from getting burned when hooked up the Summit/MAD
way. When hooked up as shown on the Nova sites, you still have a small
wire going to the starter, so it doesn't even do that. Either way your
original solenoid still has to work in order for the remote solenoid
to work, otherwise you are just passing current to a switched point
where the switch is dead.

I've had the same problem in the past, I installed a solenoid heat
shield, it fixed the problem for me, may work for you too. good luck
and pray for good weather!
