I take just the opposite approach on my TR4A - I leave the heater valve open
all the time, and close the vent. That way I always have fresh coolant going
through the heater core, rather than letting it sludge up with rust.

I *like* driving around on cool/cold summer nights with the top down and the
heater on; so all I have to do is open the scuttle vent.
