Name's Ken Livingstone.

Recently acquired a nice, original '58 Edsel with the E475 MEL engine. In the process of servicing it to run now. Grew up on Chevy's (insert insult here.... ) later became a FORD tech at a dealer here in Ontario.

Now running my own Ducati Specialty shop in Oshawa, plus dabble in a few old cars. (most new cars have no character).

Very Impressed with these engines in researching them. Jon Kaase winning the HOT ROD Engine Master's Challenge was quite something. 798hp. wow.

Can't wait to fire her up!

Hello Ken. Nice lines, reminds me of a Mercury. Does it have a cable drive tachometer?

Thanks. No tach. Might ad a small Autometer electric one somewhere.
