I have a 1965 Mustang Coupe running a 200 ci Engine, and a C4 Automatic 3 speed transmission. It’s my daily driver, and I plan to keep it that way. The engine is pretty much stock besides that it has electronic ignition. Im looking to supe it up a little by adding dual exhaust headers. However, I have heard a lot about clearance issues with the original starter getting to close to the headers. I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction for a ministarter, and would appreciate any guidance.
 
I got the 9606 Powermaster FE ministarter, and I had to rotate the starter away from the engine block a bit because it was rubbing against it. Gap wise, I took measurements of everything and without shimming, the starter was only 3 hundredths of an inch too far from the flywheel than what was recommended.
Reopening an old thread since I'm looking to get the same starter for my i6... What size flywheel do you have? 157 tooth or 164 tooth? How has the starter been for you in the last few years?
