Adrian:

If the inlet pipe is truely cold, then it sounds like you either got a bad
thermostat or the wrong thermostat.  You need the proper "sleeved"
thermostat to direct hot water from the top of the engine to the heater.

The other possibility is that the heater core itself doesn't flow freely
enough.

The third possibility is that your heater is working just as well as it
ever did - the early TR heaters aren't known for their heating
capabilities.
