I also never had an issue with my cooling system prior to the dam heater valve breaking in half while driving....

Sounds like you are actually quite low on coolant. Let the engine go stone cold and check the header tank, fill it up 2/3 of the way, then start the engine with the cap off. Turn on the heater to full blast. Eventually the thermostat should open and I bet the tank level will drop. Keep topping it up and keep it about 2/3 full. Try to bleed both the radiator upper nipple and the thermostat housing before putting the cap back on. Let the car cool overnight and check the tank again, top off if needed. Eventually it will all even out as long as your thermostat is actually opening (easy to tell by touching the radiator hose that goes into the otterstat pipe).

Thank you Ill do exactly that. Going to Oreilly now to grab coolant. I hope my heat works. I only use my AC which blast cold being here in Cali. Ill check when im home. Excited to get my car right again. Its usually so reliable I could consider it a daily driver if I needed it to be.

Good luck, I use regular un-diluated green coolant and mix it 50/50 with distilled water from the grocery store. A lot cheaper to mix your own and no worse than the pre-mixed.

Our VIN #s are close if you consider that mine was originally 11xxx before they added 5000 to the vin for the 1983 models....
