C&D heater

As I recall it was about $3k. I haven't nailed down the install cost yet, as it was part of a lot of other work, but will advise when I've got a number.

In my turbo 1969 T337D it was a bit tighter then expected, and required some mod of the cross-over bracket holding the combustion fan. I wondered why my mech didn't just use the combustion fan mounted to the heater, and will ask that question.

I'd also asked the shop that put it in to check the fuel pressure, which I believe they forgot to do, so the heater works, but fails to roast in cruise.

I suspect the fuel pressure regulator and/or fuel pump from 1969 may be a bit tired.

Will update as it gets finished off.
