Starter problems: Should I have a heat shield?
Hi guys, Just replaced my starter (previous starter was loud and sounded really bad) and it already failed last night...after only a few weeks! My truck had to return home on a flatbed last night
 I have a 1970 Chevy CST-10 with a rebuilt 1974 350 c.i. in it. I thought as I was installing the starter in it a few weeks ago...(Auto Zone starter)....man...this starter/solonoid setup is awful close to the exhaust manifold/pipe...Shouldn't there be a heat shield on this??....Well...Now I'm really thinking it should have one. What is the answer to this one?? Can you guys please help me? Thanks ,Bob

Re: Starter problems: Should I have a heat shield?
I would say that the starter you installed was faulty. I am not a big fan of over the counter starters and alternators. Look in the yellow pages, and see if there are any places that rebuild starters, electric motors ect.... You will get a much better product from them I'll bet. The heat shield is a good thing, but not that necessary. Not having one should not can your starter that fast.
