I always wanted to try surf fishing....That's where you use a really long pole and a lot of weight sling it out as far as possible right? I do mostly fly fishing in our little mud puddle. I want to do some ocean fishing...maybe when i retire...LOL We got a lot of snow this year, so much that it's causing flooding issues all over the state. Roads washing out ect... Our neighbors to the south in California are no longer in a drought for the first time in 20 years. Our daughter lives in San Diego and said they can water their grass and not get a fine....LOL You and your family have a safe trip... Hopefully you will around when I call to get my parts, I'd like to talk to you in person.
Take care and God Bless!!

Surf fishing is becoming a lost art from what I've seen.

We do very well when we go, but you have to go when the bait fish (finger Mullet) are running to do the best.  In Florida this will be in early October most years.

We catch Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Catfish, Red Drum, sharks, and on occasion a King Mackerel will come in close enough to hook one up.

You just never know what you are going to get into, and sometimes they are so big that they will spool off all your line and you can't stop em!......Cliff

Hi Cliff, did you make it to the Rockies? I'm going to be getting a hold of you this week to get some kits. I've got three projects to build for. The carb numbers I dug out boxes of carbs are as follows. For the Charger that we were talking about I've got that TA carb 17057274. I'm going to build one for my shelby cobra replica, I bought the car a couple years ago and don't know anything about the engine build. it's a 302 with an Edelbrock rpm intake and the long tube headers. It has a smooth idle sounds like a mild rv cam, Im guessing 275 to 300HP. It's a little hard to tell in such a light car, I'm sure recipe #1 from your book will be adequate for its needs. I have a 17059213 and a 17058213. I was thinking one of those for it. The dual quads for the charger I have some older carbs set out, 7045214,7042244,7041202 and a carter qjet 703202. Or should I go with the two 1705 carbs and build one of the older one for the ford.
Please let me know when the best time to call is in your time zone and I'll do the math.....LOL
Looking forward to talking to you my friend!
God Bless!!

Our trip to Colorado went well.  Heading back out there in October for an Elk hunting trip.  Going to be "roughing" it a bit, and there is no cell phone coverage within 50 miles of where we will be hunting.....which is a good thing!....

Hello Cliff, it great talking to you a few weeks ago when I ordered my kits from you. got the carb done for the charger. it works awesome! Hoping I can get to the track before it closes for the winter. The bottom end power increase is so much better that I'm going to have to run a stickier tire, first gear is useless...lol I also found a short block 400 for my Trans am. It's fleshly rebuilt, but has been sitting in a shed for 20 years. needless to say it has to come apart....lol I'm going to pick it up this weekend. It's a 67 400 casting bored 30 over with flat top pistons with valve reliefs. that's all I know until I get it apart. I'm going to get that pontiac book you told me about, can I get that from you or should i jump on ebay and get one? You told me to get a hold of you when I found one...so here I am...lol Anyway I want to build a low to mid 400HP engine that will behave pretty well on the street and still leave most of the ricers behind...lol. the heads I have are the 4X 7H castings. these are 98cc heads, they're at 93cc right now. I don't know how far I can cut these heads down to get the compression up?? I'm going to drill and tap them for screw in studs.  you said that you have played around a lot with cams for these engines, what do you recommend? I almost feel bad putting a 67 block in a 77 TA....lol Some guy out there with a 67 firebird would be pissed. Anyway and guidance woul be greatly appreciated...

Take Care my friend
God Bless!!
