TTI HEADERS & MINI STARTER

I have a Dakota mini on my 360/4-speed car with TTIs circa 1999
My mini came with an adapter on it that elevated the terminals to near-touching. I removed that adapter, and then it was fine.
She has not complained at all about the Heat.
In this pic you can see the adapter.
