Topic: Installing 1940 Ford hot water heater


seems39    -- 08-04-2011 @ 6:40 AM
  We have the engine out of a 40 Ford. We have a hot water heater for a 40 & are thinking of installing it in the car. With the engine out we could drill the holes in the firewall easily. But our problem is where to put/locate the holes? Is there anyone who you may know that may have a diagram or know where to get one? I suspect the dealers may of had a template to figure out where the water tube holes should go. I would gladly pay for one.
Our engine is all rebuilt & getting close to the time to put it in.
Thanks for any help you may give.

  A complete set of instructions does exist. It contains a template for drilling the holes, a diagram for the hose routing, and a wiring diagram for the controls. I had/have a copy. The frustrating thing is that I can't find it! I think I downloaded it from this forum so I'm sure someone else will come up with it.
