Block Heaters
Anyone know if these things have fallen prey to Energy Conservationists in the last few decades?
I know modern aluminum engine blocks do not hold heat in the Winter anything close to what the older iron block engines did. Even inside a garage, a new aluminum block engine is barely warm at minus 20 when started up after being plugged in all night.
Not picking on any particular company, but was curious if anyone has an old (50’s or 60’s vintage) block heater that fit a flat head Ford V8, that they know the rated wattage for. Be interesting to see if the wattage has been reduced for a block heater used in a modern Ford V8.
