im finishing a resto and i went with a high torq mini starter i also went with a set of summit headers i built the motor and assembled out of the car. now everything is in the car and the starter pops but not far enough to spin and it wont pop back and now i pulled the mini and bought a stock starter problem there is the header wont let me put it in without pulling the header plus by the looks the header will not install with a stock starter any tricks to get te ii to engage? thank you

Look down at the bottom of this tech article and see if it will help. http://www.moparts.org/Tech/Archive/elec/1.html

thanx for the link i had a problem with the terinals hitting the block and i did grid the plastic insulator and now it mounts flush with the bellhousing without hitting the block the bolt hole on the top is larger than the bottom and im assuming thats for some play but the starter housing has that knob that fits into the bellhousing and i did grind the round part to allow it to move abit but that did not help im sure if i can get the starter to move just abit more away from the wheel it will engage but thats going to require tons of work if anyone knows of a mini that bolts right up id buy it

That info is in that article also.
