    I'm not sure if the 1989 Cadillac eldorado has a heat valve in the radiator,cz some does.
    But if it does I think you need to check it first, cz these valves keep closing in many cars which stops the water from running in the radiator ans raises the heat.
    I hope that was helpful, I know I'm not the best in mechanics but Good Luck
