Couple of thots:

1. Had to put a block heater in my 84 because the first owner lived in Georgia and opted not to get the freebie from the dealer.

2. Do a thorough search for block heater installment. Tons of help here but it requires a long breaker bar and a strong back. We did two of them two months ago.

3. Have Aaron Bonger send you the tool he welded. It worked great for me.

4. Of my 3 diesels, one starts horrible in the winter even with a block heater. Very low compression. So its imperative that you burn the best fuel and that is Amoco "Premier". As Amoco sells different grades of diesel (sometimes at the same station), make sure it says "Premier". That stuff is liquid gold and cost about as much. But my cars love it.
