heater
Is there a heater that works with the stock exhaust manifold? If so, are they worth installing? I don't want to disturb my manifold, that doesn't leak but my wife would like to have some heat this winter.
We have one on our Model T that works with the stock T manifold. |

Re: heater
Thom,
Snyder's has one. It's on page 188 of their catalog. Says it goes on a stock manifold without cutting or welding. It even comes with the firewall valve to control the heat. Easily removed for the summer. Marty |

Re: heater
Problem with any of these is you have to cut a hole in your firewall. If you have the hole/valve then no problem. But something about "virgin" keeps me from installing a heater.
Holes are easy to make, but HARD to reverse. Joe K

Re: heater
There are some out there that go up through the floor boards. Also, they can work VERY well. So whomever sits in the passenger seat will get roasted.

Re: heater
I have a 1930 Tudor and it is cold here in Michigan in the winter. I bought an aluminum manifold heater from Snyder's last year that bolts onto the stock manifold. It does require you to cut a hole in the fire wall, but it works well and is easy to take off in the summer.
It kind of feels like you have a hair dryer blowing into the car when you are driving down the road...Most of my trips are only a few miles so it only has time to warm the car up by about thirty degrees. So when it is 30 outside it brings it up to 60 pretty quick. |

Re: heater
when I was a kid my uncle was always coming up with a different model a. One I remember was a tudor and he had a kerosene stove tied between the back seat window cranks, worked real well as long as you could ride in the front. The other one I remember had a gasoline heater that I can't remember the name of right now "Southwind" it finely came to me. I know they were dangerous, but he lived dangerously. I've wondered how he feed gas into the Southwind. I had a 48 ford pickup that had one on it and it came out the bottom of the carb. I guess it didn't have to have any pressure. I wouldn't recommend this type of heaters.
