I am only interested in a wet sump Pontiac.
That is all true. He spent allot of time telling us we were crazy to run a Pontiac on 90% nitro, but after a few years, he knew we were serious. He was a tremendous help as well. My favorite Bill Miller Quote: The end of each season we would send in our 1.094" H11 wrist pins for inspection. One year I get a call from Bill. "Well I have some good news and bad news for you. The bad news is you bent all 16 of my wrist pins. The good news is your stupid Pontiac made enough power to bend my wrist pins!" That was high praise from Bill Miller. He sent us a set of Vascojet wrist pins. We could not bend those.
