Hi Jason, Yeah I know what is causing you the heat.  It is your heater valve. 
 It is located in the engine bay next to the firewall sort of behind the 
distributor.  The valve is old and is not closing properly.  Seems like when 
it gets old there is not enough force created from the heater controls to 
close the valve completely.  Since I don't use my heat in the car.  I just 
closed the valve as tight as I could with my hand and the heat does not come 
in.  You may want to do this temporarily, and just get a new valve when you 
have the time.
