This is truly a mystery. Looks like from your picture that the heater control valve is hooked up the right direction. I am assuming that your blower motor works well and blows hard.

You said both hoses are hot. Just thinking out loud here: even though both hoses get hot, do you know if the coolant is actually flowing through the heater core freely? Or is there a blockage in the heater core due to age/rust/dirt?

To check on the free flow of coolant through the core 1) turn car on and heater on; let it run for a few minutes to get hot 2) unhook the small heater hose (furthest away from the passenger fender) from the heater core. The coolant should be flowing out of the heater core freely.

Try this and get back with me.
