Hello Charles,

Great project. I envy the shop. Here in California I am lucky to have a garage to store my Pierce Arrow.

I have been watching the thread as your project is coming along. I recently had to order some High Head Bolts and here is a link to Restoration Supply in Escondido, CA. They are very responsive and send items out as soon as you order.

Look at page 40 and I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

Looks like the same engine I have in my Series 80.

Greg,

Thank you for letting me know. I thought I had the wrong one in mine based on this ad. I will delete it so there is no mistakes.

Randy,

Great topic, I have been wanting one for my MotoMeter also.

Greg,

You are correct. That is what I was asking.

I didn’t know what kind of items should be added to the list.

I also have a spare rear axle.

Thank you for making it clear.

Greg and Peter,

Thank you for everything. I did run the Pierce back from the car show last weekend and it did not seem to leak like it did on the way to the show. When I say leak

it was more like moisture and a few drops on the Splash Apron. I could not get the adjustment on the Manifold to go over all the way to the left. It was how every set all the way over to the right before. I have it straight up and down now.

Thank you,

Ken

Peter,

Thank you for the information. Should I add it to the Pierce Arrow items

I have on the PAS?

Hello,

When I bought my Series 80 I also bought a spare engine.

The number on the engine is 8012-794 does anyone know what car it came out of

or what the history might be? It seems like it would have come out of a later Series 80.

Thanks,

Ken

Charles,

Great looking project. These guys have been great and answered a lot of questions and volunteered to help me get my 1925 Pierce Arrow on the road.

I look forward to more pictures as yours progresses.

Peter,

Thank you for the information. It is very detailed and will come in handy for making the adjustments.

Peter,

I have a spare engine for my Series 80 can you tell me about the Serial Number

8012-794? Do you know what year it is from or the Car that matches the Serial Number?

Ken, when you mention ‘moisture’ on the bottom of the carb, is this fuel ‘moisture’? or water ‘moisture’ ?? If it is fuel, does the carb drip fuel when the engine is not running ?

Is the fuel only on the bottom of the carb? or does the throttle shaft get wet?

Greg,

It is Fuel Moisture and it was after we drove it for about 20 minutes to a show.

The only time I have noticed it was when we got to the Show. The rest of the time looks more like varnish.

The Fuel may have been coming from the screw up on top. I will run the car

to see if I can see if it drips while sitting. The driver that I had drive the car said he was having to run the car very rich to keep it moving at speed. He may not be the best at being the judge of how it runs because he did not shift down for going up hills.

On top of the manifold there is a intake adjustment that was all the way over to the right we have sense moved it to the center. I think the reason it was all the way over to the right is because the car was being ran in Tucson, Arizona where it was very hot. I am hopeful that this will help with some of the running issues.

I will check all of the other items you have suggested also.

Thank you,

Ken

Bob,

Thank you for the advice. I will give it a shot of Aerokroil.

I had a 67 Plymouth Furry Wagon and a 74 LTD Town and Country I used for my painting vehicles when me and my friends from High School were painting houses. We piled the ladders on the Roof Racks and everything else fit inside rather nicely.

We did have to add Air Shocks to keep them from bottoming out from the weight.

Craig,

I don’t see any letters on the carb that would Identify it. On the top plate it does say Pierce Arrow Pat Pending.

I will see if I can adjust the spring on the petcock to see if I can make it easier to move.

Thank you,

Ken

Bill,

Sounds good.

Bill,

Us Californians call the Birds that come back to Capistrano Swallows. They are very messy and build homes out of mud in the eves of our homes.

Bill, do you know if it is the same cover on the Series 80?

If it is I could send you the one on my spare motor and you could use mine for

a pattern.

Thank you Peter and Craig,

Is my Carb the Stromberg OX-2? I will try to adjust it.

Is the Petcock supposed to be hard to turn for the Fuel Flow to the Carb?

I have to use just about all of my strength to turn the valve.
