Re: takes awhile to get heat
What temp stat did you use? You'll hardly feel no heat with a 160, very little with a 180, and "normal" heat with a 195.

with a 160 you'll get next to no heat , I would block half my radiator in my s-10 that had a 160 in it and it would get good heat.

Re: takes awhile to get heat
the diverter valve shuts flow off to the heater core when you set the ac to max. no vacuum means water will always flow into the heater core.
