307 starter bolt placement?

hey all.

i've been messing with my headers, trying to slide them between the engine and frame rails on my '69 307, and of course, the starter rubs on the collector.

so.

i plan on loosening the bolts, and trying to just wiggle them past.

and in here lies the problem. i'm not ure if the starter bolts changed in this year. are there 2? 3? do they bolt into the back of the engine, or do they bolt up?

ANYONE with some info, please post. so i have some form of insight before i tackle this.

thanks in advance!

-Sam.

Re: 307 starter bolt placement?

do you have a manual or auto trans? the starters are completely different between these two.

Re: 307 starter bolt placement?

it's a manual, like my sig says.

but!

me being the genius i am (hey, i can pretend) i figured it out. it's kind of hard not to, so i'm not sure what i was so worried about. lol.

the headers are on, and now it's just about time to start putting it back togethers.

thanks anyway Chris.
