Re: New guy and I have a weird question
Corvairs use manifold/engine cowling type heaters also. The one on my '63 Corvair puts out tons of heat but if there is the slightist oil leak into the cowling surrounding the engine the whole car gets stunk up when you use the heater. And mine stinks..... Corvair engines are completely encased with a cowling to regulate engine temperature. They have thermostats that open little doors at the back of the engine to regulate airflow. Probably most car guys know that already.

Re: New guy and I have a weird question
Why 12V? 6V works well. I have made the upgrades to 6V LED headlight bulbs and 6V LED Taillights (very bright lights) mainly for safety and visibility. I still operate a 6V Generator. Its work is easier with the LED lights

Re: New guy and I have a weird question
Original heaters were an option provided by the owner.
Some units would tend to be to noisy thou. They keep you warm in the Winter...and they are oh so cool in the Summer. There are no "weird questions" but there are weird people...ain't that weird?

Re: New guy and I have a weird question
Did the coupe have a functioning thermostat?

Yeah, Fairbanks is the one I couldn't remember. Mary Pickford is the woman in that pic and the one below it by herself. I believe she actually owned the car. Anybody know who the people are in the non-Ford pix and what the cars are? |

Re: New guy and I have a weird question
No thermostat, and I'm sure that was a contributing factor, but without pressurization, it only would get warm, not hot.
