I want to install a heater in my 33 Master. I have the correct heater for a 33 Master.
Was there a template used to drill the holes for the water pipes & mounting bolts thru the firewall? Can anyone tell me the dimensions so I can make one?
Thanks,
Freewheeler

Making a template is not a problem. I would like to have some dimensions on the firewall to go by, so I mount it correctly. I don't want to mount it too high or low. Thought there may be a standard mounting height.
As luck would have it, there are no knock-outs or pre-punched holes on mine...

Which of the two different 1933 heaters do you have?

I believe there are 3 that are acceptable for 1933. See Service News below for OIct. 1933.

I have the second one pictured in the Service News article the ""Chevyguru sent. It is boxed shaped in a simi-V with two doors.
