TR 6 starting problems

[John Summers <trumpet@bellsouth.net>]

A few weeks ago I inquired about fixes to my 74 TR 6s starting problems
after it had been running a while.  Just a while ago I was in a NAPA
auto parts store and asked if they had electronic ignitions and
explained my problem.  The guy who helped me suggested that I put some
kind of heat shield between my starter and engine because the heat may
be affecting the solinoid.  What do you all think??  Does this sound
like a valid cause and cure??
