Not an option....lived in a third floor apartment in the inner
city...happiness was a warm battery and 10 mL of diethyl ether.

Re: [DCHAS-L] Ether - Motor Priming Grade
Back in the day, when I worked in the lab and had access and drove a 1959
Volvo in the frigid midwestern winter, parking on the street, I would take
the battery out, bring it inside to keep warm for the next morning, then
re-install it, pour about 10 mL of diethyl ether onto the strangely
vertical carbeurator air filter, and that baby fired right up every
day--no problem
Does this mean you didnt have what all the rest of us had: an electric
wire and plug hanging out the front grill connected to a block warmer? Of
course and extension cord reaching to the street could be a problem.
