Heater isn't getting very warm on '83 240 200 1983

I drive an '83 240 to work and back. When the car is warm the temperature doesn't go much above the first line on the gauge. If I have the heater running on high it sometimes won't even get over the first line. I need to replace the radiator because I put a small hole in the edge of it last year when I replace the engine wiring harness. I just have to watch my water level carefully to make sure it is topped off. I'm wondering if the radiator is the problem with it not heating up or if there is something else I can do to get it to produce a little more heat. Any advice will be much appreciated.
