There is also heat shielding tapes. Even motorcycle stores especially harley ones have the stuff in stock. Putting headers in a car it is sometimes best to protect the starter from the added head of performance headers.
If it's the exhaust putting heat to the starter it might be best to put the heat shielding tape on the exhaust and not the starter since wrapping the starter if it still has an over heating problem will take longer to cool down and function correctly again.
There's also plane old fashioned aluminum shields that bolt on.

i had to get a little creative. for about $20, i bought some self-adhesive heat wrap from Advance. It was about 1'x3' of material. i trimmed it to fit, and used as much as i could (wrapped it twice).
of course...the starter is right next to my leaky oil pan gasket, so it was way too greasy for the adhesive to make much difference. i did the best i could to stick it into place, then secured it with mechanic's wire.

A shiny piece of stainless with a couple sheat metal screws thru it to hold it off the starter case along with a couple hose clamps to hold it in place is an excellent heat shield for the starter. Much better to reflect theheat away with an air gap, than to rap it. 1/8" is plenty of air gap from starter frame, stainless will remove/deflect a great amount of radiant energy from pipes.

i'm not sure there's clearance for that with the stock-style starter, but i like it.

i was having this problem as well. the wiring in my truck for my ignition was looking pretty bad. i checked the timing and it was right at 10 degrees too. i replaced the dizzy with a mallory hei and actually turned the timing up and it starts a lot better now. before i couldnt turn the truck off if i still had somewhere to go. best upgrade i have done so far.

yeah- i should have come back and updated the thread
you're right about not being able to stop at a gas station with the 460 under the hood...that gets pretty tricky.
