I think I know how to do this, but it seems I screw it up so much that I want to check to make sure. I have a 59AB engine in my '35 Coupe. I am putting in a heater....I have a shutoff fitting on the passenger head and a fitting on the lower radiator hose connection on the passenger side. The INLET for the heater goes to the shutoff valve on the head..correct? It seems straight forward to me, but I have made so many straight forward mistakes on this 5 year old project. By the way, the heater I bought is 7" square (tiny), has 3 speeds 12,000BTU and comes with wiring and 3 way switch. Mac's wanted $270...( it takes 14-16 days to receive package) ........Summit wanted $149 for the same thing....guess who I bought it from??? I had it two days after I ordered it too!!! Thank-you,.....Matt in Alameda
