Cabnut Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Not to put a damper on your quest but if you poll the Vintage Chev Club most all will advise you won't find one and if you did it would probably cost more then you spent on your car. I have only heard of one or two people who have them on cars during the last 30 years or so. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzchevy Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 I belong to the VCCA and have only seen one car with it but never got a chance to talk to the owner of the car. It started to rain and when I went back to find him he had left the show. I am sure there are people that have them it is just a little harder to make the connection. Thanks for your comments.

Cabnut Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I have a 1929 only and a 1929/30 parts book and they have illustrations of the systems. There was a first one in early 29 and a later system that differs slightly. Both fitted around the exhaust pipe as you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzchevy Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) The 2 styles are also displayed in the News service bulletins by Chevrolet. The later style actually replaced the exhaust pipe, instead of wrapping around it, with a shroud that had the exhaust pipe inside it. The down side of these heaters were if there were any exhaust leaks present in the exhaust pipe inside the shroud, the CO exhaust would go directly into the passenger compartment. Are your parts books for sale and do you know of any parts for either style...many thanks Edited October 11, 2017 by dzchevy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabnut Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Not selling my books but could scan the pages. All parts are listed. So far looking for 30+ years I have not yet come across any parts for these heaters. I have not yet even seen one on a car and I live in a city where these cars were manufactured.

dzchevy Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Back in the 70's a friend of mine who dealt in parts had a NOS early style for sale. I didn't have a car to use it on at the time. I thought it was interesting but didn't buy it and of course for the last 37 years wish I did.
