you could further heighten the affects if you could change the thermostat in order to increase the temps more but then you would have to retune the carb for that. I saw a buddy of mine do that to his chevette. it was not a fun experience. he plans on fuel injecting it soon so he didn't put a lot of effort into it.
Yes, there is a vacuum actuated thermostat mounted inside the air cleaner assembly. It allows vacuum to pass when the temp is cool, and shuts off the vacuum when it gets too warm. When operating properly it should cycle the damper open & closed to regulate a somewhat constant temperature.
