1990 Mazda B2200 4Cyl 2.2L? - I need to install a block heater as my truck is now located in the
great white north. Does anyone know the best kind to get and how to install it. I am told by Napa it is not complicated as long as you can get access to the part of the block that has the circular plug where the heater goes. The heater I looked at is simply a single element in a U shape the screws into the block and has a rubber gasket that must be well lubricated prior to installation. I've taken a quick peek and am confused as to the location of where the heater would be installed. Any Advice? Thanks In Advance.

You can use the in-line type that goes on the heater hose or the one you have- remove a freeze plug from the block the circular looking one -pop it out and install it correctly.
