What is the best extension cord to plug in cars for winter?
The best extension cord is a short one so that voltage drop does not occur. The cord should be able to reach the supply receptacle and be just long enough to reach the car. Do not use a 50 foot cord and roll it up if the vehicle is just 10 feet away. This cord should have a wire size so that is can handle the load of the block heater. A #12 AWG extension cord will handle a 200 watt block heater very nicely.
How do you install a block heater?
The port for the block heater is a small hole approx. the size of a quarter located on the windshield side of the motor, closer to the driver side of the car. It is just below the head (top part of motor) in the cylinder block. Make sure the hole is clean of dirt and debris by blowing it out, then simply push the heater element in until it clicks, that's it! ...well then you should plug the cord in... but that's it I swear!
Where is the block heater on 2003 Toyota Celica gt?
I was just looking over the shoulders of three befuddled mechanics trying to fit a block heater on my 2000 Toyota Celica. I'm still not sure if the heater is installed....I'm waiting, not too patiently. As for location, the heater is cylinder shaped and fits into a hole in the block on the right ( driver's side) of the motor. It appeared to be a dry hole ...not into the water cavity...just into the block. The hole is about centered, a little above the trans. All you would see is three prongs for the cord...or the cord. The hole is horizontal. It does not look like a typical block heater...just a cylinder about the size of a finger. Hope that helps.

Can the cord on an electric heater be lengthened?
Yes, but with a heavier gauge wire <<>> If the cord on an electric heater needs to be lengthened as a perminant feature then the whole cord should be replaced with a new cord of the same type and wire size. What this prevents is aquiring bad splice connections at the point the connection is made. Bad splice connections will create hot spots in the cable. If the lengthening of the cord is just a temporary fix, just use an extension cord. The extension cord should be the same wire size as the heater cord. Keep the extension cord under 20 feet in length.
How do you install a block heater in a 1996 Ford E150?
Drain all coolant. Locate the freeze plug nearest to starter; round indent metal piece between exhaust manifold & oil pan on side of block. Remove freeze plug (there are different ways to do this); 1. drill hole, put 1 size larger screw in & yank out with dent puller 2. drill hole, put screw driver in & pry it out 3. hammer/chisel it out 4. pound it into block and retrieve with plyers by turning 90 deg (some do this, but i dont recommend) Then you insert the heater element and tighten with a wrench. Then you plug power cord into it & run cord to front of vehicle. Use zip/cable ties to secure power cord in several spots. Do no wrap power cord around suspension parts that will move & pull on cord. Its not really hard, just time consuming.
