I need pictures of the wiring and fuel line routing that goes to the gas heater in my 1971 411. I have the blower and the fuel pump but im missing some of the mounting hardware for the blower and i dont know where all of the wires go and if everything is there or not. The heater is in the car it just looks like the blower and pump were pulled fearing a fire. Any help would bw appreciated.

Looks like im missing the parts between the blower and the heater but i have almost everything else. Does anyone have a picture of the way the fuel pump is hooked up under the car or can somone go take a picture for me at some point.

Assuming you have FI the heater pump is just T'd off the fuel return line. Not sure how it was done with carbs.

yes it is fi is the some special t or will any one work? Im missing the t connection piece the clamp that holds the blower to the heater its self and the screen that keeps unwanted things from entering the blower. I also need the switch but there are tons in the classifieds. I dont have any cash right now so im just trying to trade my way into the parts i need.

You need a tee that will handle fuel safely. I think the stock T is about 5/16 x 3/16" IIRC. I am sure the original was metric, others may know the sizing better.

If you need a new glow/spark plug for the heater:

The car i have was loved and well used untill somone sugared the gas tank then it sat in a field for an unknown amount of years. The glow plug i have appears to be fine so im not going to remove it untill i know if it is working or not.
