I posted about this before and thought I solved the issue. Maybe not. I have a 1968 FB with a 69 6.6L 400 under the hood. We were having some heat issues with the starter. We put an HEI wrap around the starter to protect it from heat (it is close to exhaust manifolds). That solved the issue on shorter drives, but when we take the car on much longer drives 30 minutes+, and we stop somewhere, and get back in to leave the starter is sluggish. It will start but it takes a second and it is a very slow wind. Cold starts are perfect. Fires right up strong. Anyone have an opinion or experience wrapping the headers/manifold with header/exhaust wrap to keep the heat off the starter, or do you think there is another issue? What am I missing?
