It fits in place of one of the forward welsh plug holes on the side of the block.

 Re: Block Heater
bringing this one up again.
They look pretty rad. How would you go about wiring one up? Run to positive, and put a switch in the cabin between ground? where ya rekon the best place to get a positive from would be.
Ciao

EDIT: just realised you plug it in at home.
Being a idiot. Wanted an anywhere anytime being able to heat deal.
Oh well

 Re: Block Heater
Granted it is a rare thing most cold Americans have never seen nevermind warm Aussies...It is really only needed when temps are far far far below 0 Celcius.

Even so I reckon it'd be nice to jump in the ol 1200 and floor it without having to wait for a brief warmup period. I wonder how warm they actually keep the engine?

Oooooh, I missed this one earlier.
Do you have any further info on it David?
Was it available for later models as well & do you know what voltage it ran on? [Looks like US 110 Volt]

Most important of all, is it still available?

One of these would warm the heart of my precious little KB10GL & keep her safe in the terrible Aussie winters.

 Re: Block Heater
Dodge,
Yes it ran on 110v US.
Yes it is still available, at about $20.00 USD
Part # 99998-10242.
This part # applies to US model (just about everything) B210 '74 to '78.
It wil actually fit most Nissan blocks except some L motors for some reason.
