I have a smallish 8" x 8" box heater from JC Whitney with a two speed fan. Works
really well and can't even be seen. Cheap too.

Hi John!
Regarding the heater, I also have a '67 4/4 Competition. It employs a
round heater. The plate says it is a SMITHS model R200. Code: FHR 2404.
I've heard such items are obsolete. They do tend to keep the passenger's
knees warm! Probably made by the fine people who made the equally
functional gauges! Seriously, I've read that a round heater from the back
of old Volvo wagons can fit & work better. Other than that, know little
about such heaters & liitle info is found in any of the books I have. I
may need a core in the future.
