Thank you Blacks automotive for selling a cobra filled with block sealer. head warped ohhh it was a nightmare and costly. car is all back together runs great, no over heating but the heater core still acts like air is trapped.

Did you check the lines going to the heater core and see if they were clogged?
Agree. A line must be clogged or the heater core itself. Did you flush the heater core and lines?
Block sealer could have clogged restrictor in the line to the heater core. Check the restrictor in the line. I guess for that matter it could have clogged the core too.
Does your car happen to have a Even Flo head cooling mod?
No head cooling mod. Pulled hoses off heater core flows fine. As far as plugged hose, I raise the nose of car and the heat will get hot as he11 but when lower it and drive it quits. I think if hose was plugged it wouldnt ever get hot. Repeat Blacks Automotive Orlando FL sold me this head ache. I drove this car for about 3 days before these problems arose. A couple grand later, They have reminded me this car was purchased as is.
+1 check lines to heater core. Is it hot coming back out of it? My Impala had similar issue, i hooked up the coolant flush to the "out" and ran water through it backwards. All the nasty stuff that was blocking it flew back out and heat worked once again.
