It should be noted the factory didn't seem to think it was that big a deal 
to have a heater, since it was an OPTION the first few years....

People tend to freak out about the temperature they run their spridget at, 
and every so often this comes up.  Keep in mind that the optimum temperature 
is actually somewhere above 212 degrees, or 100 c.  The cooling system is 
pressurized, and anti-freeze/coolant is added to raise the boiling point 
sufficiently to make opperation at temperatures between 200 and 220 
possible.  What you need to avoid is temperatures above about 230 degrees, 
as this will prompt the radiator cap to release pressure.  Loss of coolant 
is a much bigger concern than the slightly elevated opperating temperatures.
