Block Heaters

[sirocco@telocity.com (Randy B)]

Welllllllll, I'm a Californian but started my early years up north.
All our vehicles had these heaters that plugged into the wall sockets in 
the garage or via. an extension cord out into the driveway (sometimes the 
only way to find yer car in the morning under 3ft. of fresh snow. :^D
The ones we used IIRC were installed into the freeze plugs on the block.
1967 Ford Bronco
1977 Ford Courier (my first car)
1975 VW Rabbit
