Can Davin and Jeff get this old Ford V8 engine to fire up after a 50year slumber? All evidence points to this car being off the road since 1963 (that's 60 years ago!). And it has been slowly sinking into the dirt in its current resting place since at least the mid1970s. With a new battery, new spark plugs, fresh fuel, basic hand tools, and some good oldfashioned knowhow, can your favorite engine builder and his new sidekick get this tired old 1958 Ford Country Sedan station wagon to start? Will it run??
