so you heater hoses are not getting hot? try a new radiator cap and if that does not work try pinching off upper radiator hose as there are no air bleeds on this car. then check for a vacuum leak the water valve must get vacuum in order to work. If this is auto temperature control where you set the temperature. get back to me because there is a certain way to do things on this for heat.

Thanks for advice, however, I have replaced radiator cap, replaced heater control switch on engine, taken vaccum line off and direct line to heater core from engine and have pitched water hose.
