sagefinds Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I think that attaches to a firewall under a dash and connects to a manifold heater. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the covers had AUTO-LITE cast into them. Your piece I would say is one of a deluxe variety with one of the higher price and quality systems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sage, thank you for directing me to the model T era on this part. i never seen one like this before. made of heavy cast iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 A bunch of Model A Fords had holes cut in the firewall for heater shutters like that. Great way to dump carbon monoxide into the cabin... Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could smell the hot oil but with all the fresh cold air coming in almost every where there was little carbon monoxide or heat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
