problems with tti headers and the starter

[PentastarFoster]

I bought a pair of tti headers for my small block duster. I got the headers in fine but i cant the get the top starter bolt started and i can barely even touch it to try and get it started.

I need some help soon cause this is my daily driver. tryin to get it done this weekend.

You have to have the starter bolted in before the headers probably.

You have to have the starter bolted in before the headers probably.

I`ve heard that as well, that`s why TTI`s competition advertises as " does not capture starter." What a bummer, huh!

Is this a mini or stock starter ?

 

[PentastarFoster]

I finally got it in with a swivel and about 5 extensions

thanx for the help anyways.

Yeah sometimes you just have to hold your mouth right, maybe stick out your tongue, whatever it takes. I`m sure you`re glad you didn`t have to pull the headers just to get the starter on, that would`ve sucked!

On my Valiant, I had to use 3 1/2 foot of extension,
for the top starter bolt. 5/8" socket if I recall.

It still was some work with a smaller "Dakota" type import
starter, I think Nippendenso??

mine worked great with a mini starter

remember puting my ministarter on one day i had a bad hangover and the only way i could get it thru that jungle of primary tubes was something like "backwards and upside down" and then twisting it right before bolting it to the transmission
