[FC] heat

[Dennis & Debbie Pleau]

I'm guessing the doughnuts between the exhaust tubes and the exhaust 
manifolds.  Also get a CO detector.  I won't run a Corvair heater anymore 
without one.  I had a heater working fine for ever and then one day on the 
way to work it set my detector off.  One of the doughnuts had split.  I 
bought my detector through the VV group purchase a few years (5?).  I don't 
know if any more are available but you may want to ask on the VVs.
