It sounds like the radiator is plugged. Does water pump out the nipple in a strong stream where the heater hose goes when you have it disconnected? This would indicate that the heater core is not plugged and that the water pump is OK. Also, if "stop-leak" was ever put into the cooling system, it may have clogged the radiator. IMHO, remove the radiator and have it flow tested. You may find it's in need of replacement anyways, as these were famous for the "fins" rusting off, and plugging.

could be your engine/radiator needs flushing.
Also, if you're driving over 80, maybe 70, could cause it to over heat. The radiator may be small because in '93 the speed limit might have been 55.

Could be a bad head gasket.have the radiator pressure checked.

if youve ever used radiator stop leak or any of that sort of crap the block could be all pluged up.
check the water pump... the impeller could have corroed away especially if it came from autozone
