On most block heaters I've seen you have to knock out a freeze plug (preferably in the center of the engine so the heat will disapate evenly) and install the heater there. They're simply inserted into the vacant freeze plug opening and tightened up. Its a little more involved than that: on my '04 TJ -6cyl, the dealer had to install my blocker heater, since the frost plug is located directly behind the AC compressor, this has to be removed for access, the freon is purged and then recharged after, the cost is about $150-170 which includes parts and labour.

92 Oldsmobile 88 block heater location?

I have a 1992 Olds with the 3800 engine; the block heater is almost inaccessible. The engine is sideways and the block heater is in the frost plug location just over the frame at the back. Suggestion: unless it is leaking just take the frost plug out in the front of the engine and install the block heater there where it is accessible. Duane
