We have a 1932 Special Sedan and we have the heater shown in the 1931 Service news, but the holes in the fire wall are vertical (5.5" apart) and the heater tubes are lined up horizontally. jnoin.com/32Chevrolet.aspx See pictures 3 and 4. Does anyone know if they made a different heater with tubes that are lined up vertically? Or are the tubes in the fire wall there for some other part?

The holes appear to be for the bolts that hold the heater in place. Don't see any holes for the tubes.

To my eyes the holes appear to be similar size as the square nuts holding the coil which are too small for the tubes.

By the size of those holes I can't imagine them being used for anything else but aftermarket heater hoses.

I have added a picture of the heater to the website, The holes on the fire wall are 5.5 inches apart on center. And approximately 13/16" in diameter. If you look at the picture of the heater, the mounting holes are significantly smaller. jnoin.com/32Chevrolet.aspx

So the heater you have did not come with that car. My 31 heater has holes for tubes that are diagonal. And 2 mounting holes that are for 1/4 ". I know I.ve read in other posts tha heaters were added at the dealer? And they may have used whatever they had on hand so that may be why they atr not all the same ?

We don't know the full history on our vehicles, so it is possible the accessories were added many years after assembly. Just think, we are adding accessories to our vehicles as I speak.
