<VV> Fwd: heater odors

[J. R. Read]

Yes the shrouds are off.  You will only get minimal heat into the cabin that 
way.

I'm not sure what material that is for the duct work (clothes dryer 
ducting?), but I doubt it would stand up for long in the heater system of a 
Corvair.  The vendors have the correct material for this purpose.

This appears to be an early model.  They use the rockers to pipe the heat 
forward.  All the connections and flexible portions have to be in good 
condition in order for this to work well.

If you are having odor issues, I suspect that you have an oil leak somewhere 
that is dripping onto the exhaust manifolds.

Later, JR
