I totally agree George, forgot the grins at the end of
that statement, (oops, my bad). <g>
Actually I would rather use ether (in CORRECT amounts)
as the manifold heater is rather slow.  The best unit
(IMHO) is an ether injector.  Correctly sized and
installed these are just about perfect and start you
up right now!  Ether also doesn't produce the excess
smoke that the manifold heater does, at least on ours.
These 2 Fords are the only ones I have actual
experience on so results may vary.  
Did any other engines have similar heaters?
