I bought this starter because I had a heat soak (FL) problem on my 1936 Ford LT1 with hugger header. I bought it despite the high price. Installation was straightforward, with particular attention to gasket directions, clearance and an overtightening warning in the instructions and a warning label on the starter. Started the car and still had problems with the heater. I removed the starter but the small cable connector nut did not loosen. My fault! I must have overtightened the nut the first time, although I was very careful. When I tried again the plastic insulator twisted a bit even though I tried to hold it in place and then the insulator and bolt just fell out of the starter. Big! Shot for $200! I worked for a US Department of Defense contractor in manufacturing/electronics and testing for 30 years and I have to say that the soldering work on the connector looked like it was done by my 6 year old grandson. Also note that the insulator was not inserted into the housing or secured in any way as it relied on 2 wires soldered to prevent the connector from twisting during insertion/removal which could damage the wires. Just a piece of solder on the connector and 2 wires. I know I saw a torque sheet and it worked perfectly. The photos show it "as found" after it fell out of the starter, no modifications have been made at this time. Remove the starter, remove the cover and re-solder the connectors/wires. Reinstalled. My overheating issue has been resolved. Did I damage the solder joint first by over tightening? May be. Was it the cold soldering that was still causing the heating issue? May be. Be careful!
