Re: Starter brace for 350 SBC
It is supposed to be important and also the most thrown away part too.
I was struggling getting my starter to behave, so I gave up and took it to a "starter shop" that was recommended by my general mech shop. It's happy now (or at least the truck hasn't stop starting) but the Starter Mech was like, "I can't believe you have that brace - they are never there! They are such a PITA!!". I was like ya, it wasn't fun getting on at all! Edit: I see you don't have your manifolds on or it seems that way. With the Ram horns / tail pipe installed, I was only able to get like 1/4~1/2 turn and had to keep flipping my wrench! I am telling you, it took FOREVER to get that bolt on the block tighten down for me ;-)

Re: Starter brace for 350 SBC
I have removed a bunch of those over the years as they tend to be a pain in the rear to reinstall when changing out a starter. I have about 4 of them in a parts bin somewhere.

Re: Starter brace for 350 SBC
I hear ya. I got some kind of strange satisfaction from installing that bracket though. That, and replacing all of the missing screws some PO didn't think were worth his time to install in the inner fenders.
