I was just given a 6v Gas Heater, its a Perfection Heater made in Ohio. My dad was going to use it to heat his Model A Ford but didn't bother using it. Problem is I'm on a 12 Volt system in my Karmann Ghia. Has anyone converted one before? Can I get a reducer for the whole machine or just change to coil and Fan motor? Its in great shape and I would love to get it in the car for some toasty heat. I also wouldn't mind an instruction manual I think samba has some of that stuff. Anyone ever converted one before? Any knowledge would be helpful Thanks!!

I seem to recall that all gas heaters were actually 6 volt even in the 12 volt cars but then again I old and my memory could be failing!!! There are certainly step downs for wiper motors etc. Wayne
