Thanks for all the tips!
The t-stat gasket ive got seems to be holding fine for now, il keep an eye on it though
sits on around 4000rpm at 100kmh (65mph?) my tacho is a bit dodgy and waves between 3500 and 4500 so im not 100% sure on the RPM but it sounds like its doing pretty close to 4k
Rear brakes are a bit dodgy, they didnt work at all when i got it as it was low on fluid, after filling it up and bleeding them they now lock up real easy if theres nothing in the tray, i will pull them apart and check them over soon
the carb is definitely shot, leaks fuel like a sieve so i use the LPG all the time at the moment, im getting the carb rebuilt soon though
5 speed of some kind and a lower (number) diff are top of my priorities at the moment, one of my mates has a 73 ambulance with a 5speed but all of the numbers on the gearbox and diff are worn off or covered with dirt/oil so i dont know what either of them are, any ideas what combo/s they would have come out with?
with the gearbox i have now i need around 3.0-3.2 rear end to get it to cruise nicely in 4th around 1500rpm, obviously that will change with a different gearbox though.
