Well I dodged a bullet. Replaced the timing belt, slapped in a new water pump and thermostat, and she started right up. We put coolant back in and let it idle in my driveway while were waiting for the thermostat to pop and have the pump pull water into the engine. Topped it off and the engine got warm but the coolant never seemed to be circulating. The intake hose on the radiator started to get hot, but the outake was still cold, as was the water in the radiator. The heater wasn't pumping out cold air. My buddy thinks the radiator is clogged.

Alright, thanks for the reply man.

So my car died a few months back. I was driving it when I heard something start squeeling and then it started to over heat. I towed it back to my house, and did try to start it a couple days later. It wouldnt start. I figured it was the water pump, so me and a buddy are gonna change that out along with the timing. We opened it up, got to the timing belt, and saw that the timing belt ad actually worn through part of the plastic case near the where the water pump pulley is. We went to turn the crank shaft and noticed that the belt wasn't even moving the cams. So now we need to figure out if theres any valves bent or if we able to line everything back up even though the crank shaft skipped teeth.
