from the land of ice & snow....
this thread is a good tip for guys redoing engines right now....put a block heater in if you are going to drive all year. for the 10$ it costs you, it will save big cash. this weekend it was -47 w. the windchill and the nova - parked outside - started everytime. if you don't use your block heater or can't stand the sight of a plug underneath, just disconnect from the block.
