My '85 never overheats at highway speeds, but she'll heat
up quickly in prolonged stop & go city traffic or doing steep grades in low
gear--especially when weather's warm.

"Cooling" the engine with the heater gives an extra measure
of controll & protection.
Sometimes I wish for a teflon sock, but it works!
