My starter worked fine when the car was cold but either had trouble or would not turn over when hot. I was told that the Chevrolet starters were notorious for this because the starter solenoid is so close to the exhaust manifold. My engine is the Corvette 350 ci. They call it heat flooding. I bought a heat shield from AutoZone and am in the process of putting it on ( not easy to get at ). There are several types of heat shields and there are even some wraps to go around the starter but they are not very good looking. Chevrolet put the solenoid on the starter where Ford had them mounted separately on the inside fender or firewall. If the shield doesn't work I will mount a remote one on the firewall.
next two projects are replacing the master cylinder and carburetor. I cannot see any serial number on the carb anywhere. It is supposed to be on the base on the throttle side. The only thing I saw was that it said " quadrajet manufactured for GM by Carter. Without a number, they will not accept the old one for a core. I don't think this is the original carb because there is a wire not connected at the carb that I suspect was for an electric choke and the one on the car now does not have one. Not surprising since the PO butchered most everything he did to the car.
