Coolant change now no heat

This cooling system thing continues.
I went to the "big city" Napa and got some Zerex G-05 at $17+ /gal
and hustled home to get the deed done
I managed to get about 8.5 qts down the top rad hose before it started weeping out the top hose neck on the expansion tank.
The car is up on jack stands sothe nose is higher than the tail.
I started the car and after about 10 minutes the temp gauge was at 84C
but I have no heat in the cab.
The heater functioned before the change so I assume the core is ok.
If it is trapped air , how best to purge it out?
