Looking through the various threads here, Armandos, and in the Originality and History Forum, I can't seem tofind a definitive answer to a question regarding heating.
It seems as though the early /6's didn't have a fan to push air into the cabin, and relied on the engine fan for this, while the later /6's had fans similar to the /4's. Can anyone clarify this, and, as an additional question, is the air pushed by the engine fan sufficient for heating, or should one install the block-off plates and proceed with the electric fan option? |

First I've heard of this. Can you post a reference that leads you to believe this? I have never had too little air in a 914/6. I've had too little heat in the air on frosty mornings, but this is a factor in any air-cooled car - no load, no heat. I can't imagine needing more air. |

No real six ever had a fan other than the engine cooling fan and the defrost fan. With good heat exchangers, (good luck ! ) good control valves and hoses and properly adjusted pulls, heat should be very good. If the engine leaks oil, you'll smell like a french fry. |
