The other A/MP Camaro
Did Motion build motors for the Mike Fons 1967 Camaro? It ran A/MP with some success. Thanks.

He was one of the MSC member racers that used Motion to tweek their engines with Motion Performance Dyno-Proven/strip tested products.----

Re: The other A/MP Camaro
JoeG Thanks for the great period pictures of Mike Fons and the Camaro. It is clear that the "Motion" power spread far beyond the east coast!

Re: The other A/MP Camaro
Dick Arons built most of the motors for Mike Fons. Wally Booth later hooked up with Aron and became partners. They were part of that mid west connection Booth-Arons, Maskin and Kanners and Mike Fons of the Rod Shop. I don't know how much of a part Motion had with them. I would say Dick Arons was the main man at that time for Fons. I even think that Mike Fons had a deal with Dickie Harrell at one point. Sam [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/

Re: The other A/MP Camaro
Motion , was one of the several who contributed to the success of Mike Fons camaro--As it says on the side--Dick Arons racing engines--Auto research head work--- M/P [ which could consist of proven tech advice or use of Motion Performance parts ,in the areas of Dyno tuning, suspension, traction bars/shocks, distributor/ignition, jetting, tire combinations, carb/manifold combinations etc.]---Some of these Motion setups/parts were used on Mike Fons camaro.------As with many winning combinations, it was a collaboration of ideas from people,who at the time, were some of the best in their field--JoeG [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] ---And of course the driver[Mike Fons] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/
