I have a 75 Chevy 2wd and the truck had a 305 put in. It has headers and no smog crap...HEI, shorty plugs, edelbrock performer intake and carb, p/s, p/b, no a/c, new entire wiring from front to back, new alternator, starter, and battery. My question is, after it has been running for a few and I shut it off, when I go to start it again it doesn't want to. It sounds like the battery is dead but after waiting about 20 minutes, it cranks right up. What's the deal?
your starter is overheating either get a high performance starter with copper windings not aluminuim or get a starter shield from a 4cyl fiero and cover your existing starter this will fix your problem
It sounds like the starter is over-heating. This is a common problem with headers. But it may not be the starter, it may be the solenoid. There was a very good article not long ago in ROD & CUSTOM or CHEVY HIGH PERFORMANCE on a fix for this problem. If you go to there web-sites you can look it up. Frank C
You could wrap the heaters or make a heat sheild for the starter. That is 2 cheaper ways to fix the problem.
could be 305 starter what year motor 78-up these years wear more common to have shims. or bad +wire to starter check and clean all.or as said be fore
