With a 180F stat in my TR4 I think I get the most heat with the scuttle vent
open.
Even in really cold temps -- we enjoyed low teens a couple weeks back -- it's
plenty warm. During 'normal' winter driving I don't use the fan at all as the
vent
pushes plenty of heat. My backseat passengers still use a fleece blanket for
some
reason.
