Try flushing out the heater core with hoses connected to inlet and outlet of firewall. Like another guru said, consult YouTube as there are many videos on how to do this. With age of this vehicle, you could have a soot filled heater core. Also check air bubbles and if system holds pressure. This pressure is listed many times on your cap (13-18 psi). I will do 15 psi on cars. See if it holds for 30 minutes. Test cap also.
