The directions that came with my Hooker LT (#2210) said you had to remove the tube for cylinder #8 and put the passenger header up near the heads, but not attached, then install the starter with the header up toward the radiator out of the way. Then bring the header back into place and install the tube for cylinder #8 and bolt the header to the head.
This worked for me! I even had the starter wrapped in a heat shield or blanket. It was a little tough to put the wires to the starter, especially with the cover in heat sleeving.
Good luck!
