George thank you for getting back to me. We took the Grease Cup off the Water Pump and there is a small hole through the center of the threads. Is that where I need to pack the grease into? For some reason I was thinking the Grease should be packed into the top. The cup itself looks like it should separate but we were unable to figure out how to back it off.
I appreciate you impute,
Ken
I have the Lubricant and was able to get it from a Petroleum Dealer, JB Dewar.
They were nice enough to just give me some. They stated that they get in 9 pound quantities.
I do have a question about how do I go about filling the cup. I have books and the owners manual but none of them address that topic. I guess the figure a guy should know how to fill the cup. When I put the grease inside the packing it came out of the back of the gland nut. I tried to loosen the Grease Cup and it just came out completely.
Thank you for the help,
Ken
George,
I have a call into our local Farm Supply here is San Luis Obispo. Thank you for the tip on Calcium Grease. When he calls me back I will ask him about that.
Ken
Ed and Tony,
Thank you very much. I will order water pump grease.
Ken
George,
Is it okay to use wheel bearing grease for a boat trailer in the water pump cup? What do you recommend?
Thank you.
Ken
Great looking Pierce Arrow, Congratulations, Thank you for sharing your win.
Here is a picture of my dash it is the color of the body. It has the
wood trim of the Deluxe in the Photos.

Hello Randy,
I am trying to post the picture of my dash and am having problems. I haven’t been able to post pictures for a week. My wood surround is shiny it has been restored so I am not sure if mine is correct either.
I will take another picture tomorrow and see if that will post.
Ken
Thank you for the education once again.
Does the Dash look different on either one?
I know mine is a Deluxe but I had no idea that there
was difference when I bought until Peter told me when I joined the
club.
Thanks,
Ken
Peter,
Thank you for the information. You have a wealth of information. Please keep
sharing.
Ken
Hello Peter and Randy,
I do have a pair of Driving shoes. I will give that at try. Randy I was thinking the same thing this morning about my modern car and playing with the seat.
Thank you for helping me with my seating space. I need to also get rid of my Gut.
Ken
Peter,
That is a lot of great information. I am wondering what the measurement is
from the floor to the top of your cushion with out the 1X2’s? How far are the
pedals from your seat?
I know I am still going to have to loose weight to get my legs in. I am
motivated.
Thanks,
Ken
That is a first for me. I had no idea there was such a thing out there.
Greg,
Thank you for the useful information. I will copy it and put it in a file where
I can access it when needed. I have a spare engine and will go out and take a look at the access hole and brass plate to see what you are referring to.
Ken
Peter,
I will be waiting with open ears to hear what effect it has on leg room.
I hope it works. That would be an easy fix.
Ken
Thank you everyone for the information. I am hoping to that by taking some
of the padding out it will help me fit into the car. Does anyone have a picture
of a Sedan Deluxe with the Upholstery off so I can see what it looks like?
Thanks,
Ken
Tom,
Beautiful looking Pierce Arrow. Hope to see it in California sometime.
Ken
Randy,
Thank you for the reply. It is an 80 Series Sedan. I have been told that the
seat is not adjustable. I am willing to try just about anything to be able to
drive it. The seat has been reupholstered.
Below is the a link to a Youtube Video.
This will show the way the car is set up inside and the upholstery.
Thank you,
Ken
Peter and Ed,
Thank you for the information. I am always learning something new from you this
Forum.
