Does anyone have one of these? Do they work good? I'm interested in getting a setup like this.

I have a repop that I bought years ago. Haven't tried it yet.

The drawing posted is very difficult to read. My 45B Coupe has a similar heater. It is a reproduction of a Tiffany Heater, and it has a register in the floor board on the passenger's side. The ram air does not work well, so I plan to put an electric fan in the intake line.

I picked up one of these heaters, going to put it in tomorrow.

There was a great article in the Restorer magazine by Jim Morris on these.

Do you know what volume book it was in?

With that duct routed below the carb, a person would have to make sure that any fuel drips from choke application has evaporated before letting the heat come into the cabin. It may bring in a fuel odor for a time if fuel drips on there.

The article I referred to is called Winter Comfort with sn Auto Furnace in the Jan/Feb 2023 issue.

Installed the heater works exactly how I wanted it to.
