I just uploaded 6 photos found on my computer, dated 2005, in hopes someone
will recognize them. It's a particularly nice looking MPI installation,
including, apparently, a multiple coil ignition system.

Ken, Several questions from lookin at those. What kind of throttle body is that? Is it on a 455?? E.D.I.S?(ford coils)Are those 2" intake tubes? Looks like the fuel pressure is tied to the vacume. So many Q. Ken where did they come from. No memory??? No notes??? Your killing us Ken,,,,PL

I see Megasquirt 1 or 2, EDIS coils, and what looks like a Ford throttle body off a truck. Could this be Paul Lamke's? I'm guessing it has a complete EDIS ignition as Squirt 1 and 2's didn't have wasted spark in B&G standard codes.

Wally,

You may indeed be right because 2005 is about when I last saw Paul & I made
a point of visiting him to see his installation. In fact, the GMCMI Spring
Convention at Ft. Meyers, FL is where that occurred. And the quality of
work is just what we'd expect from him.

Mystery solved. Now to get him to tell us the details.

Paul Lambke used to race in the same Canadian Sedan Road Racing series I raced in. He was my engine builder. The pictures may not be of his coach but there certainly are of the QUALITY of work he did(does). I might be able to find out how someone could contact him if no one else knows how. He has moved from where he lived 20 years ago but as far as I know still lives in Ontario. Some other racing aquaintances had Paul build an engine for them a couple of years ago. For an Ice Racer !!!! Not something that happens in Georgia or Florida !!!LOL
