Starter problems. Heat soak???
This is the third starter since december.
Its a freaking project car, I only drive on weekends.
The car staarts fine when cold, but when it heats up , and i shut it off, just clicks until it cools down.
The car has a 160 stat in it and rarerly goes over 180.
This last starter i got in just mid july! wtf???
Is anyone else having this problem?
Battery is new , with all new battery cable ends and , ground is tight and secure, on motor.
Stumped!

On my previous 415 SB I did a couple of things: I wrapped the headers in the area of the starter with heat resistant wrap and I installed a solenoid heat shield bought from AutoZone (less than $10). Cured my heat/starter issue.
