Dakota Starter

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I got my oil pan changed this weekend.  Did it by lifting the motor and 
dropping the center link.  When I looked at the FSM to see what the 
process was for dropping the K member I saw "remove lower control arms, 
remove torsion bars etc." that was enough to make me go the other way.
Anyway, while doing this job I also changed the starter as my old one 
was a little weak with the higher compression and close quarters to the 
new headers I installed after the motor rebuild.  When the motor was hot 
it struggled to crank.  So I got a junk yard starter off of a 95 V-8 
Dakota.  Because of the different position of the wiring lugs (on top 
nearer the block as opposed to on the front of the solenoid) it looks 
like my original wire loom to the starter is going to be a little short. 
 My thought was to solder an extension on to the cables and get a little 
heat blanket for it.  I know some of you have done this mod.  Just 
wondering if there are any words of wisdom before I get started
