RE: Starter trouble

Joe, There is probably nothing wrong with your starter at this time. Keep it up and you will fry the starter. If you are running the cable from the solenoid to the starter between the headers and the block there is too much heat which causes a voltage drop at the starter. Get the cable out of that oven. A quick remedy which worked for me was to make a new cable out of 00 guage and run it along the inner fenderwell and firewall and to the starter from the rear of the engine. Take a look at the Ford Factory HIPO Galaxies with the cast iron headers, this is how it was done. You should be able to get a cable made at any Heavy duty truck repair shop.
This thread, so far...
