82 Collector with hot start problems
My 82 started having problems starting after it got warmed up and was shut off. I took the starter to the shop and they said the brushes were worn but didnt look that bad. They put some new brushes in and I put in a new solenoid from auto zone. The problem is still there. Do I need a new starter and if so what kind?

Re: 82 Collector with hot start problems (VetsVet)
Hot start is caused by heatsoak from your exhaust and engine. Try a heat shield, there should be a small shield that was stock to your car.
Moroso sells a large one for about $25-30, another alternative is a remote solenoid. Jeg's or Summit sell a kit that will move the solenoid up to the firewall or fendwell away from the heat of the exhaust manifolds.
Good Luck!

But then again it’s not going to hurt things much so if installing solenoids/relays makes Ya feel good – Do It. :conehead
