<VV> Electric Heater Upgrade?

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Not a chance. 300 watts is barely over 1000 BTUs. That's STINKS! A 1500  
watt, 120 volt hair dryer won't heat a Corvair very well. In ANY climate where a  
heater is important!

Hi all...does  anyone know of a successful conversion
of the Corvair heater system to  electric?  There are a
number of "ceramic" heaters out there at 12  volts and
300 watts or less, but from what I hear they aren't
powerful  enough to heat a car's interior in the dead
of a New York  winter.

However, I have heard of at least one '69 owner who
did the  conversion.  Such a conversion, if done right,
could cure the "smelly  interior" problem of the stock
heater, as well as reduce the problems of CO  in the
cabin in the event of an exhaust system leak.

Thanks...Bill  H.
