Block Heater for Model A

[Hioridge]

Does anyone know of a head-bolt or other type of block heater for a Model A?
I need to start my A which has been sitting in my cold barn in Maine all this winter.

A magnetic block heater should warm it enough.

Perhaps you can get an inline hose one and put in the lower hose near the block

Mine started without doing anything after 3 days on cold for here nights and 25 degree days ---with a 10 year old battery made from 1/2 of a 12 volt battery

drain the oil, warm it up,put it back in, have a fully charged warm battery

take one of those electric hot air heaters and let it blow on the engine for a while

If you start it run it until the oil is hot to evaporate condensation ----otherwise it is best to leave it unstarted till you are ready to drive,

get the small size torpedo heater (runs on kero) at Lowe's etc , open the hood, and aim it in there for 30 min. It will be warm as toast. Be sure battery is up as has been stated

You could probably squeeze a lower radiator hose heater in there.
