The guy at the parts store is likely the same guy who would work for whatever little salary the boss is willing to pay...not for his knowledge.
There are lots of plug wires made for header equipped cars. MSD, Taylor, Pertronix, Accel, and others all make high temp wires. The guys who race have to get their stuff from somewhere.
Check out a local speed shop, Summit Racing or Jegs for many choices.
It did sound like your starter was heat soaked and was affected by the heat. If the heat shield did the trick, you're golden. If you continue to have trouble, consider a mini-starter to put some more space between it and the headers.
