I had one on my 48 Plymouth flathead 6 in high school. If you left it plugged in all night, the heater would work as soon as the engine started, even at 0 degrees. Without the heater, that engine just plain would not start at all at O. I have no idea what the wattage was, but it kept that engine very warm. Glad my Dad didn't know I was plugging that thing in overnight all the time! Like the others wrote, I would check it with a meter. If you get some resistance between the two plug terminals and infinite resistance between either terminal and the block, I would try it out and see if it warms the coolant. But be real careful, it could be dangerous to apply house current. When I was a kid we had a VAC that had the easiest starting engine on the place, even with the crank, at almost any temperature. Many times I used it to pull other rigs that would not start, including that old Plymouth. Maybe your VAC is different and needed a heater. Good luck.
