Can heat from the header heat up a starter to the point of failure?
My 13 month old starter isnt doing its job anymore, its spinning but its not spinning the motor.
Do I need to replace the entire starter or can I replace the solenoid? Anything I can do to prevent this in the future??
To answer the first question, YES!! I had a 66 Mustang with a 289 and headers, and if I got the headers hot (think driving triple digit speeds for a period of time), the starter would be baked and seize. That being said, your issue sounds like a solenoid or bendix issue. My old Ford didn't have the solenoid, so I can't speak to that.

I started a thread about it to keep the info all in one place, so I will C&P your reply (and my reply) there
Good Day,
Working on my '64 spl310. My question is brake and clutch master cylinders. I have a stack of shims and have read through the manuals for info on using them but I am not finding anything. Obviously, the shims make the mc move up or down.
My question, the shims are thin, what exactly am I looking at the shims doing? Master cyl for level? Angle of the push rod? Other?
Thanks

^Are you kidding? ^ Have you ever looked at any of Alvin's pictures?? His car is perfect for this, and he is the king of photo library's. Look at any of his posts for "Where did you drive this weekend" there are bound to be dozens.
"When all else fails, force prevails!" Ummm, we're gonna need a bigger hammer here.
Ive seen his, but Im looking more for a dead on shot VS a fancy shot... lets face it his pictures are TOO nice for what I want... but there is likely to be a big selection, I will look though, thanks
just went through 10 pages of that thread and this was the best I could find, and still not what I asked for
If Alvin's is too nice, then this should fit the bill:
