I am looking for a hot water heater switch (the electrical blower switch) for a 1939 Ford Deluxe. I don't see any listed in the normal reproduction parts outlets. Do any of you have any leads for this item?

The correct switch for your '39 is going to (most likely) prove to be rather elusive. Larry may be a source and you can most certainly trust that he knows which is correct for your '39.
Many guys advertise later switches, most notably, '42 - '48 as being correct. They are not. Will they work? Sure. Will they pass judging scrutiny? Only if the judge is blind.

Joe.. Do you know if Larry can source 12 volt blower motors.. I have the heater core out of my 47.. but I want to have it rodded or pressure tested for leaks before I re-install it.. and when I do, I want it all to work right - blower, fan, and defrost... Not that it is critical in So. CA.. just want it for the cool rainy days.. The nice part about Larry Caplan is he is 5 mins from my home!

Does anybody have a wiring diagram for the heater switch I have a green wire not hooked up and a long black wire coming from the switch not sure where it goes. someone else started to rewire this car then skipped town trying to finish what he started.
Thanks Jim
