This happened to my GM Performance mini starter yesterday

I remember those days....broke nose cones every few weeks on a Hi Compression 427 I had. Used to carry a spare when ever I went crusing and ended up replacing a starter every now and then before leaving the cruise spot. GM did offer a steal nose cone starter back in the day. I know it was available for an LS7 454 Chevelle. Hard to find as time went on, but stopped the nose cone issues. Look for an after market steel nose cone model.
John, I would put a new batter in the car. Prob the battery although heat soak is an issue. I Would also suggest a new cable to the starter and maybe put a heat shield and or wrap around the starter for some added insulation.
