FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

When I was a kid during the '30's-40's a lot of the Fords that had the hot air heater system, At the time they seemed to be a good idea, they produced heat with-in a few minutes of the engine being started, however, with all of the parts that required maintenance to keep the system working and the fact that the system had to be removed for summer driving pretty well ended their life.
Hmmm? Now where did I put those parts I removed, it's getting cold.
Of course anyone that ever had a VW Bug knows full well that the VW system left much to be desired in cold Northern US winters, the same was true of the Chevy Corvait's as they aged.

Yes, that's another problem.
The car is black so it's already hot enough in the summer !!

I had one of these new in the box, 30 years ago
reason I did not use it,
the instructions said to remove the manifold heater for the summer, because of the heat build up in the engine
compartment.
did not want the issue of removing and installing, seemed like a lot of work for little use,
I do not think it was issue of exhaust leaking, if kept a eye on,the exhaust system like any car,
I worked for VW and they used heater boxes on beetles and VW'S type 2 '3'4' , and really never had a problem with exhaust issues,
if you heard a exhaust noise it , you had to repair it,
just like today if you hear a exhaust noise, exhaust could leak in the modern cars
my 2 cents, 1937 Ragtopman

Thanks for the offer but I looked at the system in the Gary Malast 38,39 Ford book and it looks like alot of parts to make up the system. The car is not a high points show car and doesn't get driven in the winter so I think I will leave it as is.
Great to know there are people like yourself that have these parts available for a person who is doing a full resto.
Thanks....

Gary, If you are searching for parts to complete your heater, let me know what you need. I probably have mint or NOS.

I assume those heater parts are no longer reproduced because of the liability of being gassed out if the parts failed ?

The factory and / or dealer did not install "partial" heater assemblies.

Hi guys, my 39 Standard has all of the duct work for the hot air heat system including all pull cables leading to defrost and heat dampers , but the inlet under the hood is capped off. Would all of this equipment have been installed at the factory even if you did not order a heating system, or did someone remove the heat exchanger at some point because it was rotted and causing fumes to get into the car ?
Thanks...
