Thats what EVBEC said
And here are some new updated pics with my aluminum camlocks(I put them on backwards, I need a nipple and a new male adapter.) You can see my fan box which is currently being fastened by ugly tape. and some pics of the chamber with the fan on and off.

he spark is nothing cool, just 2 10-24 bolts with a relatively small gap tp accommodate my recent bad luck with buying bbq igniters this is the third one and I still can't get a spark more than 1/8" .when I used to have sparks 1/2" wide in the past
