Starter heat shields
Well had the relay crap out on me twice so just got in two types of heat shields. One a generic aluminized fiberglass mat with velcro fittings and the other a polished aluminum plate that I can't figure how it goes on. Puttiing one of them or maybe both on when I get thetime so if you got either post some pics so I can see how you wraped the starter/ relay.

Oh and when i put the engine in the car - the headers hit the damned thing and it had to be removed...
The blanket is the ticket.

[QUOTE=paul67]Rick,
That is the factory GM shield.
Well, that can't be a bad thing. Doubt that too many of these have been kept.

Holy sh#t that must be one of the starter/ relays off the Andrea Doria.
It is 38 years old

I bought the heat shield plate but found it wouldn't fit with my headers. I didn't know there is a shield blanket. I've never had any problems-- but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to deflect some of that heat.
