Not So Pro 3

[full chizel]

Police funerals are about the saddest thing you’ll witness. The end of watch call the dispatcher puts over the radio is just gut wrenching. Sadly, i’ve been to too many. Friends of my Dad and such and now i’ll go to Brad’s.

Which hotel did hey put you up in John?

My Holley 670 Truck Avenger was the same. Haven’t touched it after bolting it on. Starts great, runs great.

I still can't get the ignition timing exactly right on this 351. I need to pull the distributor back apart and loosen it up. Static timing has to be too high for it to run it's best on the road, then the starter wants to drag when it's up to temp.

When you say “loosen it up” are you talking lighter weight springs on the advance?

Oh ya, and not even reach the second floor or basement. You thinking on getting into fly fishing or spin casting??

 

[Woodwackr]

Same here, of the 3 I have spent way more time and money in SW

During the big powder shortage, years ago, they were the best for late night online finds.
Still have quite a bit from them

I’ve only been to one and it was very much as described.

 

[Loony661]

Yes.

What RPM are you checking timing at?

What RPM are you checking timing at?

I've never checked it with a light above an idle. A Duraspark distributor has a preset amount of advance that you can set into it as you assemble the distributor. Mine advances mechanically 18° at the rotor, which is 36° at the crank. Add 6 or 8 initial timing and that's your total. The cam is small, and the compression is high, so I'm seeing too little total, if initial is low enough for it to start without dragging.

I have some spin casting equipment already. Fly fishing looks like the next adventure on the list. Some of it looks pretty affordable and some of it also looks like it's out of the reach of a normal person's budget

I'm staying right at the training center larry. They have dorm rooms here. Each student has their own room.

I have been fly fishing for over 60 years and as rabbit holes go, it can get real deep, real fast, IF YOU LET IT

You can also have loads of fun with good affordable gear and some common sense

Yuppies drove the prices of gear up to astronomical levels, but that also drove innovation and quality to amazing heights, so thats a double edge sword

It boils down to the age old truth that a 100 year old 30/06 will still kill an elk or moose dead as a stone and you don't need a $2,000 rod and reel to fool a trout

$150 worth of gear will take care of you for many years. Once you get good at it the pricier rods and reals do make things easier. Even then, you don’t need to get 80% of the hi-dollar crap to have a great time. After a while you discover a dozen different flies will do the job 95% of the time.
You’ve got me by 2 years

It's been bad this past week Sean.
34.4 average with high humidity. This week not so steamy.

 

[full chizel]

In custody, or eye for an eye?

Unfortunately in custody
