The Lemons headers on my 67 BBC drag car come w/i 3/8" of the transbrake solenoid on the side of my turo 400. I purchased a heat sheild blanket intended for starters etc. and wraped the solenoid but it is really close.Almost touches. Is there another brand of solenoid that is shorter that you guys may run?
I think mine is a TCI unit. The rest of the header fit is excellent but I'm concerned w/ overheating the transbrake solenoid. Any Ideas????

on my T400 w/ ATI T/Brake, the solinoid was internal on the valve body, power wire for it used the kickdown connector.

Thanks, I purchased the car w/ the trans in it. I'll review that option w/ my trans guy and/or TCI.
