Just changed the stock valve covers for new Mopar Cast Covers. Found out that the top rear bolt hole is messed up pretty bad and can not be fixed with out pulling the head and having a machine shop rethread it. The old cover did not leak, but was RTV'd like crazy. I used the black gasket that...

We'll I had to remove the starter to take off my headers today. I know you can get a smaller starter that is pricey but also heard you can use a later model starter that is just as small. My question is which one. Car is 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger 318. Thanks in advance,
