Winter is coming, folks! 
It's time to install manifold heaters on your Model A's. I can offer four original self-contained manifold heaters (no bolt-on tops needed), plus one lone top for Director brand waffle-type manifolds. All four manifolds pass the exhaust port hole test for alignment across their tops (no drooping in back) so that the gland rings will fit into the engine block. Recesses are still clean and deep. One has the intake manifold still attached and is drilled for the vacuum wiper fitting. The others require your intake manifold. All need to be sandblasted for appearance sake. No visible cracks or broken mounting ears that I could see. Photos available of each.
(1) Otwell Safety heater #1 is the exhaust manifold only with round "trap" door on the top. You add your own standard intake manifold.
(2) Otwell Safety heater #2 includes the intake manifold. It's just like the previous manifold with "trap" door except it has the intake manifold still attached, which is drilled for the vacuum windshield wiper line.
(3) "Director Special" manifold heater is just the exhaust manifold. You add your own standard intake manifold. There is a cutout in the middle for the distributor set plug. An original exhaust clamp is still present. It's an impressive-looking beast!
(4) Unknown manifold heater manifold only. You add your own standard intake manifold.
(5) Director heater top only. You need that model's exhaust manifold. Will not fit the common Otwell waffle manifolds. 'Sorry.
The prices for each are as follows, plus cheapest shipping I can find for you:
(1) $35
(2) $50
(3) $45
(4) $25
(5) $20
Thanks!
