BB consensus from my research (lurking on BB for a couple of years) seems to be: protect your AMM by disabling the pre-heat system; particularly in the warmer climes where engine heats up soon enough after starting. I like BC's solution no. 2 as you still have the cosmetic apperance of a stock 240. My '88 wagon had already had pre-heater disabled by PO in this way but then my mechanic removed the ductwork completely. No discernable change in performance at start up but feels kinda naked now! Your choice. Good Luck. YMMV.
