Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / January 2004Gasoline heater
Was this gasoline heater listed as a option at one time ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42606&item=245 3400479#ebayphotohosting  SignatureJP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 63 R2 4 speed Daytona HT(Md.keeper) 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 63 GT Hawk 63 Avanti R3 clone(Md.keeper) WOW. With a rating of 3008 and positive feedback of 99.9% I am impressed. Must be some reputable people. But why would they have to charge the maximum UPS charge for shipping? Is this where they make their money? jf > Was this gasoline heater listed as a option at one time ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42606&item =2453400479#ebayphotohosting > -- > JP/Maryland [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > 63 GT Hawk > 63 Avanti R3 clone(Md.keeper) Southwind was (is?) quite an aftermarket company in days past. They made a lot of heaters, and heater related stuff, of all sorts way back when. Wouldn't suprise me a bit that they (Studebaker) would offer a supplemental heater as an option for some of the colder climates. > Was this gasoline heater listed as a option at one time ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=42606&item =2453400479#ebayphotohosting > -- > JP/Maryland [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > 63 GT Hawk > 63 Avanti R3 clone(Md.keeper) I interpreted their shipping charge to mean that would be the most a buyer would pay, and might be less. That AC number is in the 1958 Book F, but not in my 1956 book. Not in any of my later ones either. A six volt model is also listed, AC-2892. And there are six different installation kits listed but no specific application. In the 'Models' column it just says 'All'. Maybe it was a Canadian option for awhile, I know around that time gas heaters were popular on alot of cars in Canada.

You can still buy them, there are guys that deal in vintage Eperspacher stuff, they sell them as "kits" though as they don't want the liability of selling a working gasoline heater... nate Signaturego dry to reply. http://www.toad.net/~njnagel > >Subject: Re: Gasoline heater > >From: "Joe Baty" irishnra@sbcglobal.net > > I had a great uncle that had one on an early corvair. I believe all Corvairs used gasoline heaters (factory). Paul Johnson 1st year only Paul (1960) While they WERE safe, they did produce an odor inside the car that had folks complaining. The next year they used air drawn thru cylinder fins to heat the car. Not nearly as quick to warm up but less smelly. I believe you could STILL opt for one if you wanted quick heat tho. > > >Subject: Re: Gasoline heater > > >From: "Joe Baty" irishnra@sbcglobal.net [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > I believe all Corvairs used gasoline heaters (factory). > Paul Johnson My wifes 61 Corvair has ths the factory gasoline heater in it. When needed it blew hot even when first started with no odor.

"Improvements" to the manifold heater system spelled demise of gas heater. Now, if they had only had Viton seals back then...Oil dripping on manifold and then into the car via the heater...I had a 65 Coupe parts car back then that leaked a quart every 65 miles. My current 63 convertible leaks NO oil at all after a rebuild, but the frigging heater doesn't work. Say, why not Viton seals for Studebakers???? The Southwind was a kit-like addition to many makes before heater cores got really good.. It put out a simply prodigious amount of heat, I have heard tell.
