which brand was it?

You could try a mini starter which may indeed solve the problem but like I said its not always sunshine and bunnies with mini starters

You could try to find a better brand of stock stater...if that's even possible

Why did you replace the old starter?

I'm sure it's like duralast, the old one just went out on completly. Ur right because u still have the problem. I'm a try to order n see though.

I cant blame the mini starter concept which is actually logical n will probably work for you. Im pretty sure my connections are all good n it works most of the time so i live with it, maybe its just a bad egg. I never had any issues with my stock starter . The mini starter I got from NAPA so I would think it would be fairly decent especially for that price I payed for it.

let us know if the 55 buck mini (or whichever one you go with) solves your problems.

They sell what i call a "bag" that goes over the starter and it acts as a heat shield and keep the header heat from over heating the starter. Don't rap the headers though otherwise they will rust.

Can I get that shield for the starter locally at a auto parts store, I'm a try that n adjust the timing first.

whats the compression on your 347? I would think a stock starter would have a little harder time turning it over if you went 10:1 or higher.

To highjack this thread a lil I switched to a high torque mini starter and after the car fires the starter is still turning for a second. does not sound good but I cant find the fix?

I would think so, if you can't find it at a parts store any mustang shop or performance shop should have them.

Autozoo has them, Kragan n pep boys too.

You need to do or have done a voltage drop test to determine the source of the trouble.
