Hi, Matt.

I forget what kind you have, or where you are. I haven't used GEX; I'm in WI
and did a rebuild with parts from MOFOCO in Milw. They were very helpful. They
also have rebuilds. I haven't heard bad things about GEX.

What kind of heater do you have? I have some older Stewart Warner parts, and am
admittedly unfamiliar with them. I saw that in Hot VW (or the other one) there
was a short article on gas heaters and a guy that fixes them. Maybe someone has
more info. But if you have an older S-W, maybe I can help you. There is also a
shop named SIG's near Wisconsin Dells. I don't have his number on me, but it
should be in the archives with the subject VW guy in WI. He has a gas heater in
a '78.

Do you have a copy of this? I can't find it on the archives. If you could
forward it, thanks!
