1988 900S, 16 valve, 5 spd, 176K miles.
It looks like everybody has covered what you need to be looking at, ie, coolant level, bleeding the system, hot heater hoses, rod connection to your heater control valve, etc.
When I bought my 900 in the Fall 2008, my heater was luke warm throughout the winter. When I flushed the entire cooling system with Prestone Superflush last Fall 2009, one of the nice side benefits was I now have a hot heater that provides great heat! Just remember to make sure your heater valve is wide open if you decide to flush your system.
I hope this helps.
