Hello folks,

Found some missing critical components to my heater and was wondering if anyone in the Bay Area could help me locate these parts for the heater. . . no wonder the little center knobby doesn't work. Getting a bit cold lately. Don't know if it matters or not, but the car is a '73 2.0. I need both sides.

Coleman, about $20

Hey, those pics look very familiar!!!

Iff'n you can wait until next month, I have about half of them. Some unpainted (they were bead blasted, I think!), some badly painted with black Krylon. You can have 'em. Let me know.

Hey guys new to this board, but not new to Teeners. Anyone of you guys using that Coleman heater? I be interested as I have no heat now. Thanx in advance.

I learned to drive fast to stay ahead of my wife in competition. Competition makes you drive faster.....

I've got all 6 of the parts for you Chung. Just call me to arrange a time to get them.

?? A buddy had one for the back of his van and it helped a bit. No replacement for real heat, but couldn't hurt. No heat in my car either, so I just ordered one on ebay 12.95 + 5 shipping. Won't be the first time I wasted $20

those little heaters that plug in to the lighter dont do crap in maryland 30 degree days, i tried one it made my windsheild fog faster. i wound up buying a coleman propane heater sold just for use in cars during emergencys. it is a 1000 btu IIRC, it nicely supplamented my leaky HE's in 20 degree weather. i mounted it with big clamps below my dash in the center. no i dont have pics but i will look for something online.

its called the survial cat heater, got it at walmart for like 30 buckshttp://safetycentral.com/cosuemheprki.html

Well, I can tell you, it was a waste of $20.00. I bought one on Ebay also a year ago from the guy down in Texas I think. He doesnt leave feedback and the first one didnt work at all so he sent me another one and I plugged it in and it was maybe enough to defrost the windshield if you leave it run for awhile. Its a ceramic heater with a small fan on it. What a POS.
