After recently fighting starter heat soak problems, I have done numerous searches on this board and become very educated in all areas about heat soak, heat shields, remote solonoids, starters, mini starters, ETC, ETC, ETC.
Knowing that I pretty much need to go to a mini-starter when I switch from the Hooker shorties to the Hooker long tube (near future) and having read many posts about using the LT-1 style starters instead of an after market starter such as the CVR, Summit ETC, my question is:
Also, would a heat shield be necessary/advisable with whatever version of a mini starter I end up with?
Couple more questions I thought of:
I remember reading in a couple posts here on third gen to stay away from the Hitachi style (why?) and that the Nippendenso style was better (why?). Is there any easy to tell the difference between the two?
Was looking at some mini starters on E-bay. Any opinions on which would be the better choice?
Well, I ended up getting a CVR #5323. Don't have it on there yet. I was going to write up a little "report" so to speak, after I got it on my car, that kinda told of my experiances and other info I learned while researching all this. Will still try and do that after I get in on the car and have a few minutes to sit down and collect my thoughts!
