Suppose you jumpered around the heater core and connected the hoses together? That would eliminate the possible heater core blockage as a source of your problem. you would probably want to put in a new thermostat at the same time. If the car doesn't overcool, you know it was the heater core. You can get a new one from RockAuto for $118.
