    I'm guessing the only thing that would designate an aftermarket heater for one make vs. another is the carb spacer that went with it.

    I'm also no expert.

    This is my tropic-aire. I just figured it was a general-purpose unit, but it has the doors you describe in the front. Here's a few old and restored photos of it. Sorry, I don't really know much about them otherwise. Can you post pics?

    There were dozens of Tropic-Aire styles ... maybe a literature collector here can look it up it a catalog for specifics ...
