So you think YOUR heater is ugly! This one is going away when I replace the exhaust manifold with a new porcelain coated one.

I have an otwell with the bolts for the intake broken off and need to drill them out. I need to know if the holes go all the way thru.

I put the Snyders hot water heater in my A's. Not original but sure does a great job on the cold and snowy days. Wayne

I don't believe they do gridleak. I can check tonight for you.

I had my AutoLite "drop on" cast iron heater powder coated cast iron dark gray and it looks OK under the hood. I also keep it in place with a large hose clamp and remove it when not needed. In my closed cab pickup it gets very toasty warm on the coldest days.

You can't use them at all on a RHD as the distibutor control rods pivot off the inlet manifold over the top of the exhaust manifold -Karl

Gridleak, I checked and one of my holes is 1/4 in in depth and the right hole is 1/2 in depth. Sorry I took longer than I said.
