Re: [alfa] A/C interference with heater fan access?

[Gilbert Gagne <gil5941@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,
I recently removed a heater from a 1986 Spider and as I remember the 
heater is attached to the top of the firewall by two nuts on bolts 
permanently secured. These nuts are VERY, VERY difficult to get at. 
Proceed at your own risk!

When I lived in New England, I used a tank type engine block heater to 
circulate the coolant and keep the engine warm on below zero nights so 
it would start in the morning. Starting out with instant heat might 
prevent windshield misting. These heaters are extensively used in 
northern Canada and Alaska. In Edmundton, Alberta this past summer, I 
observed AC outlets on parking meter posts for keeping engines warm 
while patrons shopped.
