I have put a regular T in the left fuel line near carb to feed the heater , 
 and run a return line from the regulator to the  fuel filler coupler hose 
,  which I drilled a 1/8 th hole in , then sealed with silicone rubber.
The correct fitting is @$14.00 from Clark's when available. He also has the 
 lines. The late cars had that return line and fitting  on them to better  
control fuel pressure?
I have most anything to do with gas heaters scanned into my computer.
A properly working gas heater is just wonderful on a cold fall car club  
tour!

If it is a factory installation the easiest way to tell is the third  
fuel line from the fuel pump. There should be a four way brass fuel  
block where the tee normally resides.   A pipe from the pump into  the 
block, two 1/4" fuel lines to the carbs from the left and right side of  
the block and a 3/16" fuel line from the front of the block than bends  
back and followes the entery 5/16" fuel line from the tank.

I have to go on is pictures.It has been repainted solid blue close to  it's 
original color.What has me puzzled is the interior door color.From the  
photos it looks silver but my resources tell me it should be fawn.It's a  
standard GB.Wasn't even standards offered with more colors then just  one?

ductwork under the dash looks different then a forced air  heater.Is there 
a different look? Thanks. Ed in  Florida
