Every project needs a dead line. For me for this Camaro it is the Indy 500 weekend. It needs to be done so I can drive it to the track.

There is a Honda engineer that drives this 1968 Mustang “Bullet” clone. I want to park in the paddock next to him.



I get along well with Honda guys. I don’t know this guy but he is on a Honda team.

Simple goals. Any way we are shooting to have this Camaro on the road by Mid May.

Good luck, Mark! Love how it is turning out.

Kinda like a distributor.

Once the Air Cleaner is on it will definitely look like a distributor and I am looking forward to seeing it installed.

I have met several "TV Personality" car guys over the years at various shows / Power Tour Events / whatnots, and for the most part, they seem not to interested in talking to the Av Joe.

I was lucky enough to run into Mark at the charlotte airport last week.
I saw a guy that I thought looked like him in passing, then did a double take a few minutes later and the guy had on a corvette racing jacket. I though that has to be him...

I though about going up and talking to him, but I figured he was busy with things to do. I decided just to go up to him and find out.
Man, he is the coolest, most down to earth car guy you could meet. He instantly stood up and shook my hand. I showed him some pics of my junk, inspired by him, and we small talked for a bit, then i had to go board my plane.

Nice to meet you Mark, and I hope see you again!!

Very nice to meet you also. Thanks for the kind words, your project looked great.

Maybe we will bump into each other again sometime.

Mark, can you tell me what coils are being used here? Also, wondering if I could copy this design of the coils in the SBC distributor location. Love this idea.

Thanks,

Bill
