Take the header out to replace the starter. The tti headers and the stock started are compatible to work together but tti says it won’t come out. Or in! Header removal (may be partial ) has to be done.
i'm hoping the mini-starter that i ordered from Summit will have more space between it and the header. i'm going to NAPA tomorrow to get a Pitman Arm puller. i think i can get the driver side header down out of the car with the drag link and Pitman Arm out of the way. i also noticed that whomever installed these headers ran the starter wire through the header and put the wire in an asbestos/heat (?) sock of some kind. i'm going to find a better way to route the starter wires than to go through the middle of the hot header tubes.
