quick question

[1974ChevyC10]

i just got to work after grabbing some food.when i left wendy's at first when i hit the key my starter would make this noise the best way i can describe it is freewheeling.i hit the key and the starter would freewheel and make this clicking/slight grinding noise.then i put the shifter down in L1 and went backwards slowly into each gear and the truck started.then i drove to work and park.check to see if it would do it again and now all it does it click-the starter armature hitting the flywheel but it wont start.i do have headers,it is kinda hot here today its 96 degrees with approx 26% humidity.could it just be my starter is just hot and needs to cool off or is something else going on here which i hope there isnt because i dont want to be stranded at midnite after i get off work im a 30 minute drive from my house.please help.thanks

I had the same problem. The headers are burning up your solenoid on the starter. You will need to replace your starter soon and come up with some type of heatshield.

Me, I am taking mine back to stock manifolds and dual exhaust that way.

you just reminded me why i have not had headers for years now. THANX, i was thinking about putting headers on my truck again, but sure aint now. i started feeling all those burns again on my hands and arms, then i woke up

Anyone know where to order a dual exhaust system for the manifolds? I have checked LMC, JC Whitney, Chevy Duty, and Summit catalogs and all of them are saying for the 1 ton trucks, suburbans. Mine is a 84 suburban 350 and 1/2 ton.

Thanks

Yep, right here.

EDIT:
I looked again at the link and it says for pickups only. I can vouch that the kits are very good quality. I'm sure it would be easy to adapt to your suburban.
