<<Starting in the early/mid '80s all US delivered diesels had block heaters (but cords were dealer installed, often only if requested). Car delivered elsewhere didn't have heaters unless they were ordered as options.>>
My '78 came with a card in the glovebox entitling me to a free blockheater installation mit cord. Of course I said yes and a good thing since the original glowplugs were fading at 90K miles. RLE
