: I was told the following starter would work well on a pre-86 small block chevy with header clearance and hot start problems: Part#1046-5167. The starter weighs about 8.5 lbs and is a gear reduction starter.
: I would like to know if the starter will bolt up and work with my flywheel and what it's originally designed for.
: Thank you

You didn't tell me what flywheel you had.This starter will work with a 168 tooth or 14" flywheel.
Yes this starter works great. It will give you more header clearance. A factory heat shield is availablle for this starter also.
