Hello  volks, I bought a project 87 westy that turned out to be a Canadian
model.  It came w/ a block heater that I'm assuming was installed at the
dealer in  Canada as it is stamped Made in Canada. The other markings are:
LR20976  Model OP-8 250W 110V. I searched in the archives but didn't find
much info  at all. My block heater has no cord, so I'd like to find a
replacement cord  so I could plug it into the wall to see if it works. If
anyone has any info  on this somewhat mysterious block heater, I'd certainly
appreciate it.  Thanks!

Chris,  this block heater is still available.  From my _Vanagon Items
Forsale_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  webpage  > Block heater, 605-1500,
NAPA  -  $ 74.95   This block heater is supplied by NAPA.  So, you could try
them as  I will today  Also, I may have a good used cord I can sell you.  I'll
 have to go look around the shop today.  I also have another parts suppler
for that heater who may have the cord separately.
