62 Heater installation

[John T.]

There have been several recent threads on this and I thought I understood it until I went to the Judging Retreat in Dallas. There was a very nice Top Flight 62 used in the class that had the foam gasket outside the firewall (between the firewall and the fiberglass duct with the flapper valve in it). I would appreciate someone clarifying the specific order of the inner box, the sheet metal plate, the foam gasket, the firewall and the outer duct.

Thank you for your patience

John--
Heater assembly is completely assembled before it is installed in the car.
Therefore, you see the fresh air hose snout from the engine compartment, and then the foam gsket, behind the snout, butts up to the firewall from the inside of the passenger compartment. Other than the four attaching bolts, that's what you see from the engine compartment side.
Hope that helps--otherwise, email me and we can go in greater depth.
