Heater Backdate Question
 
I removed the engine mounted heater fan last night but need a solution to capping the vent pipe coming off the exhaust. I can't find a part for that on Pelican. The left side fiberglass block off plate fit perfect. I also got the right side which online said it fit the 1987 3.2 engine model but see no place to put it. Removal was much easier than I thought. Attached are three pictures. The last one is a plug for the Hill Country Rally. First one is the pipe/vent to be capped. Next step is cleaning the engine area.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1525275639.JPG

Your going to need to order some ducting and a reducing elbow for that to work. I think I got mine from Pegasus Racing.

If memory serves, I believe it was 2.5"x 2.25" elbow.

EDIT: You might have a different setup than I did. I heat backdated mine buy using a block-off plate with an open end to connect to the exhaust pipe you referred to. Not sure how to just block off the exhaust port

Why would it need the ducting? I was under the impression the heater valves still get heat off the exhaust even without the blower fan using the engine fan or so I thought. Thanks for the input though. I'll keep checking. luckily I won't be needed much heat for several months.

Uh Oh. I think all I did was block off any heat. I need a different piece then I got from our host to route the heat from the fan to that hole/vent opening. Fun never ends. Thanks aread.

Are you backdating heat or removing completely?

That looks like it. Somehow our host sent the pieces to completely remove heat. Even on a cold winter night here in the Hill Country the wife needs some heat. But then we can take her car with the heated seats. I'll call Pelican tomorrow. I need a couple other things anyway. Thanks
