I"ve never heard of two heaters but I think what you have is called a Thermostart. It has a fuel line that is fed from the return to tank line from the injector pump and a power source that is activated by the key switch. The power heats a grid that the fuel dribbles on to and creates a small flame to heat the incoming mixture to aid starting. You hold the key in the position between start and run for about 30 seconds to activate it and then try to start. It"s supposed to be good down to 5F.
I live in western Montana and it"s not much help to me below about 20F. I installed a block heater and have it connected to a timer. It turns on one hour before I have to feed and the engine starts up quickly down to -20F.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
