I do some googling, talk to the guys at 84 Lumber, and submit my

A few day later I get a call that my application is rejected because
the Simpson UFP is only rated for installation in a concrete
foundation not in concrete block even if the top course is grout-
filled (which is what I have).
this product should do the trick

Bob, I think you missed the above paragraph of the original post. I'm
not aware (in my limited awareness) of a UFP type product that has been
tested in grout filled concrete block--although one might think it
would work about the same as cast concrete.
