Ohh nice, I might just end up buying one as I have a few other cars that could use the treatment. Which part of Melbourne are you in ?

If you had no coolant in the engine your temp sensor wouldn't have read it was overheating as they need fluid to read correctly. 

In regards to the carbs, personally id be looking at efi options but thats just me 😛 

Have you done a comp test on this motor? 

If you have issues from overheating (ie headgasket) is it possible the 2nd carb isn't drawing as much because the cylinders that are closest too it aren't pulling as much vac? 

Note im useless with carbs but just a thought

lol true, the sensor is after the thermostat so would have read nothing haha didn't think about that. Maybe I should run without thermostat and see what happens. 

I did look into EFI stuff.. probably need about 5-7k to get it going. I'm willing to struggle more before that. The car isn't overheating.. that I know of. No steam coming out of the exhaust which might indicate head gasket, I haven't checked the oil so don't know if it's mush but also there wouldn't be water in there if there's no water in the engine so probably doesn't help. Haven't done compression test. 

True I think it's not pulling as much vac, I need to order a proper vac tester and try get idle working so I can confirm it

You can pull the sensor out and put it into a cup of water thats been boiled by the kettle to confirm its reading as well

More thinking about cleaning it out that way but I'll push it outside and blast a hose through it
