Even though the distributor is at the wrong end of the engine, I have to admit you guys have "cajones" grabbing that distributor with the naked hand. It just took one time to get zapped by plug wires for me to always take precautions when timing an engine!
Nice job so far guys. I got a chevy as well it is a unrestored 80 malibu that doesn't get too much attention until people catch on that there is a 454 under the hood. Motor needs a rebuild though get to it eventually. Good luck with your project.
Way before we bought the 73, we wanted to find a 68 Firebird convertible. Never found one for a reasonable price though. Then when we bought the Boss last year, we thought about it again. Still nothing reasonable though-but the Boss is a pretty darn good "instead of", lol. Nice Camaro, looks like you've got yourself a project.
