Re: Optimal temperature, radiator cap, etc.

I owned a '64 Saab that also had a radiator blind. It had a cord instead of
a chain. The cord had knots that engaged a slot in the dash to make the
blind adjustable. Are small engines easily over cooled by the ambient air?
Or maybe the heater sucks out heat faster than a small engine makes it? I
never heard of a domestic car needing it's radiator covered.
