Ineed a source for heat shield for a '79 ford
p/u w/ 302 with headers for the starter?

 

If you have a summit catalogue--they have a real good heat shield for a starter---about 30 if I remember---if you don't have a catalogue just get on their website and they should have a picture of it-----I put one on my 77 and it works very well!!!

 

I got mine from Therm-Tec, it's a fiber based material with a metal backing and it wraps around the starter with the metal backing outward. I havent had any problems with it, but I did add an additional metal baffle because the headers are so close and the blanket does nothing for the back of the starter.

 

Got mine at Car Quest. So Far So Good
