383-400 starter replacement

Putting together my 68 Valiant, the starter install was a bear. I have a 383 block, 727, TTI headers, and mini starter. If I remember, I had to install the starter with the header in place but not bolted to the head. It was kind of a puzzle where either one would not bolt up first, you had to hold up and support the header while snaking the starter in place. I also remember having a bit of trouble with the battery stud on the starter being very close to the block. I had to locate the offset adapter for the cable and solenoid wire, and modify it quite a bit to do any good. For sure I would go with new components so your not doing it again for some time.
