The thermostat is designed to divert all coolant to the radiator when the temp
is at full red, therefore none flows to the heater core. If your thermostat
were working well, you wouldn't be getting to full red in the first place. If I
were you I would replace the thermostat with the 82 C version, and maybe also
the radiator and fan thermoswitch (also 82 C to match thermostat).
