With a SAAB 3-way thermostat. They are $28 or so, and worth it.
You must buy a 3-way thermostat. Do not buy a 2-way thermostat. The replacement procedure is quite easy.
Now: With a saab engine with good thermostat and good radiator and good expansion tank pressure cap, there is absolutely no reason to turn the heat on while you sit in traffic. I'm quite serious.
Start with the thermostat. Next, the radiator.
The saab thermostat, which you hopefully do indeed still have in your car, is a 3-way design, which will cut off the heater core when the coolant temp is too hot. Still I recommend thermostat first, it's certainly an easier job, and the thermostat really needs to be replaced every couple years as preventative maintanence.
How does your radiator look, btw?
Rolf
