440 Starter Opinion

What style headers do you have, Under chassis? Have you got enough room to fit a 3/16 plate of aluminum in between the tube & the starter?

In a nutshell , no !~I made a little alum sheild , wrapped the inside and outside w/ some new header wrap I`m messing w/ , "did I say ,I hate that stuff", couldnt make it work w/ the location of the starter wires, one on top, one one bottom. Dont remember the brand , but has been a good starter from day one, untill I dewrapped the headers and found a lot of rust, then had them 2000 degree black painted after sand blasting, Paint is holding up well, but no heat passing quality.
I have saved up a few $$ , and cant make up my mind wheather to get new in-out thermal coated headers , or have a convertor built .
My 440/505 doesnt run like I think it should .
