need to replace starter (update )

[69chargerR/T]

 I changed my battery cables today, and I still have the same problem ( will not crank sometimes ) . I need to change my starter, I've gotten different answers to my first question ? Some say the mini starter will fit with headers, some say they had to take the black starter connector off  the starter to clear the headers.  RTgreen said that the plastic wire cover on the bottom  hit his header and he had to dent the headers alot to make the starter fit. I would like to use the mini starter but if I have to dent my headers I don't want to use the mini starter . There must be some other guys out there used the mini starter with headers I would like to know if the mini starer fits or not before I buy one. I have a 69 charger with 440 and hooker comp. headers  with 1 7/8 tubes. Any help or ideas out there would be great Alan

No one but rtgreen had a problem fitting the mini starter with with hooker comp headers I know some say they fit fine but, with what headers. And there is a difference in hooker comp headers and super comp headers. I don't want to buy a mini starter and have it not fit my hooker comp headers. anyone Alan

Is it hitting by the wiring terminals ?

Did you take off the wiring adapter?

I haven't gotten the starter yet. I have another post ( need to change starter ( which one) ) and rtgreen said that the plastic wire cover on the bottom of the starter hit the header and he had to dent the header to make the starter fit. I think he had hooker comp headers, I'm trying to find out if anyone else had this problem with hooker comp headers. I don't think his was talking about the the starter connector, I know some guys said to take the connector off. There is a wire that comes out of the starter on the bottom that may be close to the headers ( hooker comp headers ). If I'm understanding him correctly    Alan
