On the late model cars, moving the alternator to the passenger side of the
block will allow more air to flow over the starter and help keep it from
frying. We have an OROC member who rigged an air line from the front of the
engine bay to the front bearing on the starter in his '69 2000 just to try
to make it last longer. Bob never has said how well it worked?
