Topic: Hot Air Heater parts for 1934 Ford sedan


Occaswright    -- 02-07-2022 @ 6:06 PM
  I'm working on a 1934 Ford sedan with a firewall hot air heater opening. The car has a '37 engine and headers. My plan is to make a round 'oven' for the setup at the header and connect to the other pieces on either side. I've done something similar on a brass car with the heat going to the carburetor. I'm looking for the pieces (3-4) from the radiator area (shroud/scoop) to the manifold heat exchanger and from the heat exchanger to the firewall.
I've tried 2-3 recommended vendors, including ThirdGen in TN, Obsolete in MN, but come up empty. Anyone willing to part with these items or offer advice on where they might be found? I have a complete Hadees water heater setup, but prefer to try the firewall hot air opening first, if possible. Thanks, Glenn

  Larry Caplan's phone number is no longer in service. Would have another means of contacting him, other than writing? Thanks
