Long story short, 66-300 w/ac. Getting ready to move and did a 3X flush on the cooling system last month. Flush, fill, drive, cool, flush, repeat. Like I said, did that 3 X and doing this I also had the heat on to circulate thru the system and the heater worked fine! Took it out today for a spin and have no heat. The temp control cable moves the actuator so it does move from 1 end to the other no problems. All other actuators work going from ac/ max ac/ heat, defrost, etc. but still no temp change. Both hoses going to/from engine to firewall are the same temp. However, the short hose from each fitting at the firewall is cool. Looks like a bypass hose or something? I'm thinking that I'll have to flush the heater core from both those fittings and focus on the heater core alone. Ideas, hint's, tips, whatever's? Thanks
 
If you are going to flush heater core back flush it,in other words flush from the out flow to the inlet as not to flush crud any further inside heater core,try n dump some chemical in n let it sit a bit n back flush, a mild acid or car will work

That's my plan, as I had the same kinda thing happen when I had a Rambler. Flushed, and then back flushed and you should have seen the crap that came out of it.
 
Not up on a/C cars, but do you have a water valve on car? Maybe it's plugged/broken internally. Otherwise has to be plugged core.
