Not updated this in a while.
After sorting the brakes and overheating problems was still suffering with running issues.
Went through the rockers etc and dizzy lots of problems with the advance etc.
Main issue seemed to be carbs, waited three months for the correct carb rebuild kits.
At this point running better but still suffering with pinking and a stumble.
The hemi is a real super stock hemi. I assumed when it was built last it was just block and heads etc.
Turns out internals are super stock too except for slightly milder cam.
So after checking it has 12.5 to 1 pistons, running 104 octane fuel it runs absolutely spot on. Would drive it anywhere except the availability of fuel.
Also very quick, not sure if it's just because it's manual but feels faster than my old six pack car.
