I recently bought this car from Southern California and the owner's manual states that it has a factory installed block heater that came standard in the car. However, it states that a dealer must install a power cord. Has anyone done this? It sounds like something that would be easy to do. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

This should be what you're looking for:

Thanks Nate.
The detail in that post is pretty sweet.

Althought the cord with two prongs as pictured in that post will work, I prefer the original style one with the ground tang and screw-on sealed connection, bought my last one from a Detroit Diesel dealer was manufactured by Zerostat (sp?).
