I am going to add to what Jim said and add that the search term is critical.  I entered “Lifters” and got about 5 hits several of which several were for earlier models. When I entered “Lifter” (no s), I got 4 pages of hits. So, it makes a difference.  Adding a year or model will restrict it further.  If you find you aren’t getting many results, make your search terms more general. Too many results, tighten your search terms.

The is one short article on the Hydraulic lifters in PASB 1999, Issue 5.  You can download that from the Publications Page, Under the Service Bulletins tab.

Glenn,

If you decide you need some replacements, check with John Cislak he is the most likely source of replacements.   He has a number of ads listed in the Emporium.  413-543-9017, [email protected]

I am wondering if there was an electric fuel pump plumbed in where the rubber hose is now.  Some electric pumps won’t allow the stock pump to pull fuel through them, consequently a valved bypass is put in. The bypass valve would be closed for times the electric pump was needed (priming or hot weather?).   I am not that familiar enough with the vacuum pump systems to know if this would work or not.  I have seen this type of setup where someone wanted an electric pump for occasional use. Is there any sign of mounting or wiring for an electric pump there? What is the red wire at the top of the photo? It looks like it has a wire nut on the end and doesn’t go anywhere, kind of hard to tell in the photo.

I agree with Jim, it looks like a great setup for vapor lock and with any kind of a leak, a fire.

Diljeet,

A search of Google Books lists several issues from around 1930 and says the original came from the University of Michigan.  Both places might be worth checking into further.

We also had a great time. It was good to see everybody. Thanks John and Susan for putting it together.

A Pierce-Arrow found at the Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum. A 1924 Model Z bus chassis with a General Mfg. build up. It looked like an oversized Series 33.

Bill,

I have several different thicknesses of gasket material in my shop and I measured one at .0095 thick. It is stamped Mc Cord and I purchased it at a local auto parts store many years ago. I did a web search for Mc Cord and all I came up with is lawsuits against them. I am guessing they are out of business or have been bought out. What I have left is a small piece so unless what you need it for is really small, I can’t help you. NAPA sells some Fel Pro roll material that is .015 thick. I suggest you contact Fel-Pro.

Tony,

Edwin Oberhaus is the last listed owner, but that is before 2000. Nothing since. Prior to him, Aldrich Iverson, and prior to him, Charles Kugel (77-78). This includes a note that says that the car was last driven in a parade in 1946 and possibly was not driven between 1933 and 1946.

Tony,

Can he get the Serial Number? It’s not listed on Hyman’s site. With the serial number the owner history can be looked up.

Here is some more on light numbers from PASB 1998-1.

Peter, Thanks. I don’t know it, just where (or who) to find it.

Jim,

I haven’t run across anything, but will keep my eyes open.

Hi Peter,

Chris Diekman handles the Parts and Services Directory. I got their info and passed it on to him.

Bob,

Thanks, I would like to see the article and will publish it in the PASB as long as that isn’t a problem with CCCA.

I also am skeptical that detergent oil will loosen “chunks”” of deposits that occur when an engine has previously run on non-detergent oil. I would love to see a “”real”” study on the subject.

Robert,

I think we are pretty much in agreement on all of it. I am going to try to stay with oil at the 800PPM level. The link below is to an article by a GM Engineer on oil myths, just in case you haven’t seen it.

Hi Rod,

I spoke with Kent at Clean Sweep a couple of days ago about wiper rebuilding for an upcoming PASB (you’re a couple of months early on your request). He provided lots of information including that he has spare used wiper motors that he can rebuild. I do not know if he knows which one is the correct one for a Series 80 but it wouldn’t hurt to give him a call and ask. One warning, be prepared for a long phone call. He likes to talk about old cars, Pierce-Arrows in particular.

Bill,

Yes, kind of the opposite. You step up into the Pierce and down into the Morgan. Mine is an 03 +8 35th Anniv. with only 8500 miles. It had 750 miles when I purchased it 5 years ago.

I think we’re getting more than slightly off topic, so I’ll knock it off now.
