Manifold heater is ugly

[pgerhardt]

So you think YOUR heater is ugly! This one is going away when I replace the exhaust manifold with a new porcelain coated one.

I have an otwell with the bolts for the intake broken off and need to drill them out. I need to know if the holes go all the way thru.

I put the Snyders hot water heater in my A's. Not original but sure does a great job on the cold and snowy days. Wayne

I don't believe they do gridleak. I can check tonight for you.

I had my AutoLite "drop on" cast iron heater powder coated cast iron dark gray and it looks OK under the hood. I also keep it in place with a large hose clamp and remove it when not needed. In my closed cab pickup it gets very toasty warm on the coldest days.

They make it difficult to work on the distributor.

You can't use them at all on a RHD as the distibutor control rods pivot off the inlet manifold over the top of the exhaust manifold -Karl

Gridleak, I checked and one of my holes is 1/4 in in depth and the right hole is 1/2 in depth. Sorry I took longer than I said.
