I'd like to tag along with you guys! Not sure about the camping yet, but we could make it out for the days. Bryan isn't too far from Somerville is it? I'd like to try and meet some of you & have a beer with ya!

[Taylorman]

I don't think its far at all. Im just going Saturday.

[Devilman]

I don't think its far at all. Im just going Saturday.
That's good. My mom lives in Bryan, so we'd prolly just drag the boat to her place, and then leave from there Saturday morning. Go out for the day. Should be back together before then! :D :D

[baja204]

How did the boat turn out, looks like very good after reading post. I sold the 20 and upgraded to 24 bandit. Still working on prop and handling. Went to Lake Travis for Poker run last week and had a blast. Hope to see you again, but this time on the water soon.

There is a poker run this weekend put on by www.ltpa.com association. I think its all the bigger boats, I can't even run in with those guys. I can't keep my boat in the water.

Can't make it this weekend, need to change the fluids and do a little cleaning.
It was rough out their with the larger boats in certain areas. The first two legs were 40 and 50 miles I think. Burnt plenty of fuel running hard for that long. I plan to be on the San Jacinto testing again after oils changed this weekend. Hope to meet you this summer. Still can't post pic yet, I guess I need to look up how and just do it.

[Greaser]

Hey guys, maybe we can plan a fish fry for Saturday night or something. I know my girlfriends dad has been catching a butt load of fish out at Somerville these last couple of weeks. I bet I could talk him out of a couple hundred pounds or so :messedup: , not really, but maybe 100lbs. Craw Fish with corn and potato's sounds pretty good to. :idea:
Are you guys coming out on Friday, or Saturday. I plan on coming out after lunch on Friday. You know since its such a long drive for me ;)

[BigMo]

Ill be there friday around noon or so. I to plan on bringing crawfish. Found it around here for 99 cent a lb. You know any places cheaper? Big crawfish boil sounds good!! :idea:

we will probably head out Saturday morning.......early......before Texasjet even would consider getting out of bed :cool:
I think a fish fry sounds like a great idea. :rollside: Should I bring my timing light greaser? or have you got things tuned in already?

There is a place in Bryan called the fisherman, and another place called the Farm Patch that sells them I think. My girlfriends parents own a resturant, and I think they get a discount. I will check into it.

Well, I think that I need to play with the timing a bit, and its also running a lil lean. But those lil upgrades I did over the winter sure woke that ole 460 up :D Is Fathers day weekend going to be your first weekend on Somerville?

I sure as f uck hope not but the way the weather has been who knows??? busy this weekend but it looks like rain anyhow. going to Canyon on memorial day......hell it might be fathers day b4 I make it out!!! :frown: :220v: :yuk:
I wish the f ucking weather would cooperate and the wind would lay for a weekend. it's nice all week and turns to shi t come the weekend. oh yeah another front this weekend so even if no rain we will get 25mph wind.......... :yuk: :yuk:
As soon as we get together I will bring my light and you should get some jets. they sell kits of them dirt cheap and we can play around with your boat one day. make sure you got the good holley blue gaskets for the bowls that are reuseable. do you know what jets you have in there now?
Omega

[Greaser]

No, Im not sure. I bought the carb from Squirtcha? I guess I could ask him. Does Holley sell a jet kit, where would be the best place to get a kit?

[TexasJet]

Omega, you're not going to Canyon on Memorial weekend, :confused: it's Medina Lake. :hammerhea Greaser, I'll bring my timing light this Sat. if you need to use it.

[OMEGA_BUBBLE_JET]

No, Im not sure. I bought the carb from Squirtcha? I guess I could ask him. Does Holley sell a jet kit, where would be the best place to get a kit?
definitely ask. Jegs sells a kit with an assortment of jets. I am sure summitt and others do as well
here is one link
http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=745&prmenbr=361
I believe I have seen them cheaper than this. I personally would get the kit so you can play around with em a little. Like I said make sure you order a set of reusable bowl gaskets as well. Or even better get a set of these http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=741&prmenbr=361
then just bring a bag of rags to the lake to wipe up gas and we are good to go.

looky there....the old guy caught the young man slipping. you guys should definitely hook up and try to figure out your timing......talk about the blind leading the blind :hammerhea :eek: :crossx: sorry guys that was pretty low.
I think Greaser might benefit from an adjustable timing light cause I don't think that ford of his has a degreed harmonic balancer. one mark........

I will prolly order it from Summitt, they have it for the same price, but I have a $10 off code from when I purchased my cam kit. That quick change kit would be nice, excepy my carb is Zinc coated so it wouldnt match, :devil:
Just let me know when you are coming out to Somerville, and I will come running :rollside:

[460rogers]

Hey Texas Jet i might be at the lake this sat.
Waiting to see if my mechanic buddy's wife will let him help me sat morning on the dirt tracker.
Don't wait for me if i'm not there.
Have friends camping at overlook back in the shoal area behind marina and might head out that way.Won't know until sat morning.

[TexasJet]

460Rogers, I have your cell #. I'll call you Sat.

[460rogers]

COOL :cool:

[OMEGA_BUBBLE_JET]

Just let me know when you are coming out to Somerville, and I will come running :rollside:
It looks like it may be a while......are you going to Medina???? I will be there for sure over Memorial day weekend. the 21st we are driving up to Abilene for a friends graduation. the following weekend is memorial day.......damn I have spent alot of weekends on the road this year.

Well, its gonna be tough, but I'm gonna try to have the boat ready. The machine shop should have my motor back to me either the end of this week, or more than likely the begining of next week. I am keeping my fingers croossed. :cool:
Either way, I will still be there camping, and bumming rides :rollside:

[Taylorman]

How about some pictures of them heads.
Somerville is getting close. Im getting excited. I had a nice blowout on the interstate yesterday. Well not a blowout, the tread flew off my tire and f***ed up my trailer a little. Second time thats happended to me this year. I guess i need to quit buying used tires.
Went for a long ride yesterday, ran the river about 30 miles round trip. Nice calm water and boat ran great. Im still having the steering issue. Can't figure that one out. Maybe a few sets of eyes on it at Somerville can figure out the problem.
Kevin

[Greaser]

i hear ya!!! good talking with ya Friday evening,

[Taylorman]

[oldbuck40]

I know I am looking forward to it. I am gonna pull the boat out of storage on Friday and blow the dust off it and maybe even wax it. Then we will eagerly await the crazy cajuns to head out early Saturday morning. If all works out as planned.....Texasjet should wake up to the beautiful sound of big blocks running in tandem :coffeycup
Sounds like it is going to be HOT! all you guys with dark interiors bring lots of towels

Is the motor going to be assembled or will you have to do it?

[Devilman]

Keepin my fingers crossed fer you guys... :supp: Seems I've developed some sort of electrical problem :confused: . Still planning on being there Saturday though barring anything major. Taylorman, you ever figure out that rooster situation or saving that for Sommerville?

[TexasJet]

Who's up for a group roost about 8:00 PM Sat. nite? :idea: Maybe start at the dam and run west down the lake past Yegua and Rocky Creek at about 40-45 MPH. Also lets get an update on what campsite you are in. I'm in 15. TJ

Sounds good to me! Are there any speed limits or noise concerns there? Also, I'm guessing there is more than one launch ramp there. Is there any one in particular that's good to use? Gonna try to do a little research on the 'puter about it also....

[Greaser]

Is the motor going to be assembled or will you have to do it?
Yes, it will be assembled. All I should have to do is set it in there, prime the oil pump, stab distributer, put on the carb, hook up water lines, fuel lines, oil preasure tube, water temp sending unit , alternator, starter, and I'm sure there is more. I have been doing it over and over in my head all day. Just trying to be prepared, so I have everything that I need.

[TexasJet]

Devilman, If your just coming down for the day I would put in at Overlook Park. There is a lot of parking and it's a 2 lane ramp. Yegua is a triple lane but parking can be a problem sometimes. Over the transom headers must have baffles, game wardens check. No speed limit.

Oh crap, i have no baffles. Should i chance it? Whats the odds of getting checked?

[OMEGA_BUBBLE_JET]

Oh crap, i have no baffles. Should i chance it? Whats the odds of getting checked?
depends on how loud it is. I know last season greasers boat was quieter than mine with open headers and I have mufflers :confused: go figure. I do know they enforce it and with the number of hot boats that is going to be in attendance something tells me the game wardens will make an appearance. Do you know anyone who has a set you can borrow? Maybe if you tie off your boat with the bow facing out they won't be as eager to check your boat. Just don't get caught on the water.
I know somebody here has to have an extra set they could bring along for taylorman......

[wrenchdaddy]

I dont have baffles either, I've passed the game warden twice so far out at yegua, once a coupel weeks ago, ran right passed them and then sunday I was idling out of the park and they drove by, I waited til they were a good ways away before I took off but they've never said anythign to me. Im gonna plan on coming out saturday evening after work to hang out for a couple hours, see you guys out there.

[OMEGA_BUBBLE_JET]

I think the fine is $200 if you decide to roll the dice. I have seen the game wardens make routine stops on more than one occasion and they do a visual inspection of OT headers every time.
So the real question is.........
'Do you feel lucky punk??????? well do ya'
Omega

[Greaser]

Its kinda a 50 50 chance, as far as getting checked. But I think with all the OT headers that will be in attendance, I think we will more than likely get checked at some point. Lets just say, any other weekend, I wouldnt worry about it, but this weekend I will definatly be running baffles :idea:

[Devilman]

Cool! Thanks for the heads up! That's exactly why I bought 'em.... Wrenchdaddy, Taylorman, I know ya'll prolly heard it a hundred times, if ya haven't checked ebay, might look into it. That's where I picked up mine, fairly reasonable.
Texasjet, I'll be checking that out. Thanks for the tip! This trip will have to be a short one, I'm afraid. But hell, a short visit is better than no visit, right? :cool:
My only problem with the game warden is gonna be for lights, as our boat has none. Might have to go ahead & look into that....

I've never been checked for lights. My boat doesnt have any either. But I am usually off the water by sun set any way.

[Taylorman]

Ok guys i need help. I have some baffles in a set of Bassetts i bought a while back for a bbc. I need to pull them out to put them in the headers on my boat for this weekend. I can't get them out. They seem to have been in for a while and are stuck in the header. I tried every possible tool i have to take them out. Help

[BigMo]

thats happend to us and we let them soak in deisel over night and we weere able to get them out. It was still a pain. Also how important are those old headers? LOL.. IF they are not important take out the grinder.lol... and cut it out! :cool:

Mine were even kinda disagreeable to come out also. They hadn't even been there that long. I had to twist 'em out. Mine are the Bassett baffles, they look like an auger, I could reach in there, to pull on them. I thought about running a wire wheel over them, maybe make it easier to install & remove them. Don't know if it'll help, but it sounds good... :shift:
Maybe tie onto them some kind of way, then try and bust them loose with a punch or something. I know that'll be driving them further in there, but once they're loose, with something tied on, you should be able to get them out. A good penetrating oil, perhaps?

i just talked to Dana at mikes pump and speed and she said that she could get a set to who ever needs them overnight if you will pay the extra shipping! their # is 281-820-1559

They keep that kind of stuff in stock? I'll be damned. Taylorman hooked me up with them guys when I was hunting an intake gasket for my pump. Good service with them, Dana was super friendly & had it to me in 2 days!!

this option would still probably come out cheaper than the $200 fine. But if you are the gambling type.......
Danna and Mike are great people.

Hey Omega....... Are gonna be camping with us, or are you just staying for the day?

Hey, If you want, I have an old 110 volt window unit that I fixed for a customer last year that was never picked up. I could bring it, and you can set it up where it blows thru one of the windows of the tent at night, and she can hang out with my girlfriend and Blacks girlfriend in our camper during the heat of the day. Its up to you, it wouldnt be no problem to bring it with me. Just let me know. :rollside:
