About 8 years ago I installed a set of new Tri-Y headers on my '66 289 engine. It has now come time to replace the starter. When I pull the starter out I noticed a huge "dimple" on the starter where it interfered with the header. The starter worked great for 8 years, but now if I go to replace the starter I will have a problem installing it. It seems that when I tightened the header on that side it crushed a portion of the starter where the actuator cover is. The header sealed against the gasket properly. Is this a common problem? Is there another smaller starter I can use without going to the expense of the small hi torque starters ($200.+). Again, it is the small cover on the top of the starter that is hitting. It is a 289 w/ 3 sp. manual trans. Thanks.
