UPDATE; I did as he suggested jack the car up and there was massive air in the system it sucked down almost whole gal of coolant, car had heat, great heat took it home shut it off went out a few hours later no heat again! I very perplexed going to have cooling system flushed tomorrow as I think the problem is the heater core may be plugged as the previous owner may have had a radiator problem and put "bars leaks" in the system. Again I will update with solution.
F.Y.I. When bleeding the air from the system you need to jack the front of the car as high as you can get it I had the top of rad' approx. 48" in the air, leave cap off and let car run this could take upwards of 2 hours making sure to keep radiator full this is very messy because it will overflow when a large bubble comes out, I put a small funnel with a rag around the base to serve as a seal in the top of the rad and kept it half full so when air came out it sucked in more coolant and also helped with overflows.
