Ron is right about checking connections first.
Years ago I had a bad starter on my MKII. I bought a new one only to find
out there is a difference between a starter for and automatic trans and a
manual trans, at least for the 289 at that time.
Less years ago I replaced the starter on my MKI 260. Come to find out that
the starter for a 260 is dimensionally different than one for a 289. The
kid behind the counter gave me one for a 289 even though I said 260. They
took it back with no problem and gave me the correct one.

The first thing you should do is check all the connections from the
battery to the relay to the starter. I was having some starter issues
this
spring and found a couple of loose connections at the relay. The starter
worked fine after fixing the connections.
I believe it depends on the headers you have but yes you may have to
loosen or remove that header. I have not done this so hopefully others
will
respond.
I do recommend you have your starter rebuilt. I know several people
who bought and exchanged their original Tiger starter only to find the new
one did not fit right. I'm not sure why they had the problem.
The original Tiger starter Ford part # is C2OZ-11002-A
If you do take the starter out; the engine casting # and casting date code
is in that area. I would be interested for my Original Tiger Engine Study.

Subject: [Tigers] starter replacement
i suspect my starter is failing. Is it difficult to replace starter on a
260
tiger with headers.Should i be expecting to drop the headers to do this.
