B & M shifter question

Alrighty then - Looks like a fix IF its working for you to date. I might be able to secure the cable about a half inch away from the collector but no more. Your stating "they" as in plural - you're using two or more ? I'll ask again about starter proximity to header tube as well - will this be an issue and is there a fix (mini starter) Thanks for your input - are you doing another car anytime soon ?

I've not had any issues but as you can see in the picture I don't have a big 'ol collector next the trans and, by the sounds of it, a lot more clearance than you. I used one 3' length of sleeve.

If you already have a mini-starter I'm not sure what you can do. Heat may not be a big deal with them as it is with the large ones. I probably wouldn't about it but you might be able to find a heat shield for it. On my 440 with the Schumacher headers and mini-starter there's a generous amount of room.

My wife's got a '69 Newport convertible waiting for a transformation. :)
