Factory starter that clears long-tube headers

With the 1 5/8 tube headers you should be able to get the passenger side out easily if you unbolt the starter.  You can't put the starter in with the header in place, and you can't put the header on with the starter in place.  You put the front bolt on the header and let it dangle.  Then put the starter up and bolt it on.  Then put the header up.  Reverse to remove.  On my JR headers, worst ever for quality, they had to be removed several times to grind stuff for clearance to bolts and spark plugs but they came off without removing the starter.  My Hooker 1 5/8 have to loosen the starter to get the header out.  I have run the big 1 7/8 tube headers with stock starter on an AMX and it is tighter but the process is the same.  Small body cars are different.  They are a nightmare to get in place.  Quit whining.  Watch the video where the guy got 37HP to the wheels on a 304 and then think about how much more a 360 or 401 needs to flow.  

Easiest wiring solution with a mini starter is to leave the factory solenoid on the fender and just put a jumper wire from the main power connector on the starter across to the solenoid terminal on the starter, when the starter gets power from the solenoid on the fender it also energizes the solenoid. The fender mounted solenoid tends to be a main power distribution point for the car, so easier to leave it in place.

in my rambler I used a ford starter with the terminal that sick out the back of the starter from a six cyl car like a Fairmont because the stud was hitting the header

As per my Jeep Starters inside and out thread... the 17006 is the best to work with, better flexplate and almost as powerful as aftermarket power master.

The things we do for headers! I personally love mine.i used the flywheel and factory mini starter from a 90 jeep wrangler. Had the flywheel match balanced to my stock flywheel. Works great and starter removal is a snap. Also this works for me so, I use a graphite type gasket and use a sealant for gluing gaskets on wood stove doors. No leaks so far. About 3 years.
