Trivia of the
Day-GM High Torque Mini-Starter Installation

5:50
PM 8/7/2002

These are pics of a GM/Chevrolet high-torque
mini-starter installed on my 1979. Right or wrong? Does the
aftermarket Moroso heatshield go on the block side (as shown)
or the exhaust side? Does it shield block heat or exhaust?
BTW, that is the only way it seemed to fit on.

It is hard to see but the Moroso shield covers the solenoid
wiring.

It shields the exhaust heat. The block heat
will eventually transfer thru to the starter..shield or not.

It looks right to me. Its just that yur exhaust
runs beneath yur starter, rather than along side it. If you
were runnung headers they would be closer along side of the
starter then you would see the obvious shielding
effect.

The heat shield shields the starter from
exhaust heat.

So how do you like your new starter. I think that's what
I'll get when mine finally melts down.

It's a dream. Heat soak is history. The Moroso
heatshield was just over-kill but I was curious. The GM
starter can take care of matters on its own I am sure. It is
truly nice to stop for an ice-cream cone after a nice Sunday
afternoon drive and not have to wait 20 minutes for the
starter to cool off....

You are looking at a stock Y-pipe exhaust with
cat-con at the far/middle end.

Looking for the same thing! Where did you get your heat

Summit, JEG's, and any good local speed shop.

Here's what the shield looks like in relation to the
exhaust ports, motor out of car. I posted links because the
pictures are rather large.

Here's what it looks like installed in the car with Hooker
headers, you can see why a heat shield is a good idea as the
pipes are much closer than Pauls stock exhaust.
