Long story.My son aquared a 52 ford 2 door which he let set a year or so.I had a 351 clevland which I took out of my 52 F-1 and replaced with a flathead.Anyhow son wanted 351 bad and traded me the car for it and i let my 15 yr. old grandson have for his 69 sinplicty mower and an overdrive tranny.Any how we started the old 8 up today with a mower gas tank and it rored to life after who knows how long it set.He has a while longer to get his drivers permet but is one happy boy.We called his dad up and put the phone next to the no muffled manifold pipe and let him here the best v-8 ford ever made talk to him. life is good.
