Gerard,

Mine is a 68 Midget but I've never mounted the heater and blower. The one
thing that doesn't match yours is the valve. The heater core and blower look
identical as does the mounting position, but I don't have a valve like yours
on the heater core intake. I'll look and get back to you. Also, lets see
what Bradster shows. I remember his at LotO and it looked pretty much like
mine.

Cheers!!
Jim
