Ed,

I use the one I bought from the dealer,  It's like a hot plate and the first
time I touched it I got blisters on three fingers.  What I've seen, they are
all about the same the only draw back is running the power cord, no mater
how I tried I still had to run it by the belts.

Subject: engine block heater source and install in PNW

Hi

some nice folks from alaska just bought a syncro westy here in Reno. They
are headed up to
seattle to jump on the ferry to make it back to alaska.

They would like to get a good quality block/heating system installed before
they get on the ferry.

Any sources or recommendations on what they should get or who they should
have it installed by?

standard wbx engine. they will be driving up I 5 thru portland up to
seattle.

thanks

ed
