Neglected cooling systems seriously suck.Okay, I've got the new radiator, new water pimp (yes, pimp), and new thermostat. Radiator's drained. Thermostat housing is off. Flush now through the thermostat seat? Wait until the pimp is off the block? Or is this when I sacrifice the chicken and make a Jackson Pollock with it's innards?

Edit: Well, things are back in. New radiator and thermostat, but I didn't manage the water pimp. Still no heat, so I'll have to try again and look more closely at the heater core.
Wait. Youre an air cooled guy.
When you flushed the block, what did the crap coming out look like?
If someone ran a bottle of radiator stop leak or head gasket repair through the system, you're going to be fighting a lot of crap all through the system.
Anything but coolant and water going into the cooling system is seriously bad news.
