[QUOTE="doctordick, post: 206452, member: 2595"] A remote solenoid (actually a relay) is a help in that it will provide higher current to the solenoid and starter motor. It does not resolve the problem of the solenoid coil on the starter absorbing heat which results in higher resistance and therefore higher current demand. From a practical standpoint, try a heat shield first, they're cheap and quick to install. If that doesn't resolve the problem add a remote solenoid (relay) kit. As a final solution, try the upside-down mini starter. Another advantage of a mini-starter is that they require less current to operate making them less susceptible to heat soak. Also their small size keeps the motor and solenoid farther away from the headers. I'd suggest that before you start on all the above, have your starter checked for current draw and bushing condition. GM starters are notorious for the armature bushings wearing and expanding when hot allowing the armature in the motor to pull out of line causing the infamous "rump-rumps" when hot. By the way, you might want to check your timing, too much initial advance will cause a similar symptom. [/QUOTE]
