I have that exact heater on my 1922 coupe. It works very well.... Almost too well! It will cook you in 40- 50 degree weather. I the summer, the "valve" won't cut the flow of hot air off, so I made a cap on the lathe to plug the end in the passenger compartment, to keep from being roasted. That helped a lot.
A word to the wise. If you find and install any sort of manifold heater, buy yourself battery powered portable a carbon monoxide meter. If you have a manifold leak, you will poison yourself at a stop light. Not so much when you are moving. The CO level will climb real fast iding at a stop light if you have any sort of leak.

Re: The Modern Ford Heater-Old Advertising
If you have a closed car it is always best to have a window cracked when driving, regardless if you have a heater. They are prone to get exhaust and or blow by into the cab.
