Rollaround, as we talked about, I replaced the starter on my 65 with one of Toms starters about 4-5 years ago and have no problems. When I replaced the headers with the stock manifolds it looks like the starter will come out of the car with no problems, unlike the stock starter that will not come out without getting the manifold loose from the head. I must say, other them fluid running out of everything, the removal went well.

Anyone have a source for the rivets used on the drivers side exhaust manifold to hold the starter heat-shield in place?

Check with a GM dealer. They should have the rivets that attach the tin heat shields to the exhaust manifolds. Or maybe some place like NAPA?

It's called a 'drive screw'.
Avail from industrial suppliers such as MSC, Graingers, McMaster-Carr, Fastenal, etc.

Thanks Walt, I just used them a couple years ago and couldn't remember were I got them, gosh I hate that. OK I'm off to Fastenal. More latter!
