Did the heater work properly in the past? If so, what has been done between then and now that might affect it?
Are the vacuum hoses in good shape, particularly the one from the intake manifold to the vacuum bottle? Is the vacuum hose connector behind the switch secure?
The fact that the intake/outlet pipes on the heater core are hot doesn't mean that you actually have flow through the system. They're connected directly to the heater valve and normal thermal conduction through the coolant will insure that both are warmed up.
Have you confirmed that when you turn the control knob that the heater control valve actually opens/closes? (look in through the speaker hole).
When you changed the valve/thermostat, did you bleed the air out of the system with the bleed valve on the thermostat housing?
