Starter change 440/TTI long tubes/727 Auto/Manual steering box
I thought I would document what I did to change out my starter with this set up in hopes of helping others. The 1st time I did a lot of unnecessary work like removing entire steering linkage ect:
1- Dis-connect Battery
2- Remove Left side Spark plugs
3- Unbolt Left header at motor. I left the forward bolt attached for now.
4- Jack up front of car and secure jack stands.
5- Disconnect left outer tie rod , turn steering wheel all the way left. Tie tie rod to control arm to keep out of the way.
6- Disconnect header at collector.
7- Disconnect Kickdown rod at tranny bracket that goes to tranny.
8- Remove Kickdown bracket from Tranny 5/8” wrench (I left top rod intact and let let the bracket hang out of the way. You can remove completely if so inclined.)
9- Remove last header bolt at Engine .
10- With Header loose you can move it around to access Starter cable nuts at solenoid, then upper starter bolt using a short 5/8” box wrench and lastly the lower 11/16” Starter nut.
11- Now it’s a matter of moving around the header and starter to get it out .
12- Reverse this procedure for Installation.
13- I can now do this in about two hours.
