    John, post a photo of your car please. I like th look of the factory wood wheels on a 1930 closed car.

    Richard, I’ll be at Hershey, stop by the tent, Red field. RCH 42-44.

    Richard, welcome to the PAS and the exclusive “club”” of owning a Dual Cowl Pierce. They are great cars. I know a little about your car and where it came from. Give me a call and I will fill you in. Ed”

    If it is a deluxe why is the winterfront body color? Also no archer? No steel side mount covers or mirrors. No wind wings. Blackwall tires. Bracket lamps. The only option is the six wire wheels from what I can see. Looks good in the showroom. The bracket lamps make it look more like a Stearns Knight or Stutz than a Pierce Arrow. I like it!

    Wire wheels were more money than the artillery wheels. 1930 wheels are a one year only 18 inch five lug wheel with snap ring. 31 used six lug 18 or 19 inch depending on series. 32 used a drop center 18 inch, then from 33 on all wheels are 17’s. It’s going to be very difficult to find 1930 18 inch wheels. Almost impossible. I would try to find 6 correct wire hubs and have new rims and spokes made.

    Here is a 31 series 42 D/C with wind wings that look after market. Notice the correct spot light.

    I have a factory showroom book listing all the standard items on each car from 1931. I’s filed away so I can’t get to it right now.

    Other side.

    in reply to: wings #397622

    Another series 42 touring, notice the holes filled and no spotlight. Other side showed no signs of spotlight or wings.

    in reply to: wings #397621

    Other side. This is the Jimmy Walker car, from what I could tell it only had one repaint.

    in reply to: wings #397620

    Here is a shot of the factory holes in a series 42 touring, the mirror is installed in one of the three factory holes. This car did not have a spotlight on the passenger side. I think this car has the correct wind wings. I have seen them both ways.

    in reply to: wings #397615

    28 wings will not fit. I have seen 29 to 31 wings both ways but I think they should have the frame. Also, the D/C cars had one spot light on the drivers side as a factory included item.

    John may have both new and used. I have never seen a chain jump on a Pierce. They are simple to install of you pull the radiator. If the chain is so worn that it jumped I would guess the entire motor is tired. It may be possible to just tow the car on the field with a golf cart. I would ask the guys at the show. See you on Saturday or Sunday, Ed

    High grade plywood. Marine plywood works good. Ed

    in reply to: fuel tank #397605

    Sorry, I didn’t look close enough, you are right. That is the vent. It has an assortment of plates inside it. It will get closed off if you use a tank sealer. Sorry…..I have glasses now but was not wearing them. Seems old age is catching up with me.

    in reply to: fuel tank #397603

    It’s a King Sealy sending unit. The one with the red dye that never works right.

    in reply to: Cylinder Bore Question #397601

    Rick is correct. We have several 836 blocks in the shop with the step. I have not seen it on the other series cars….. but with Pierce who knows?

    in reply to: Is this a PA Starter? #397595

    Not for an eight or 12. Looks like 20’s truck to me.

    in reply to: Lyons super rear drum puller Rev A #397594

    We had a similar puller on a drum tightened down to the max for about 10 days. We were working in the shop when we heard a big bang and crash……. it went about 6 feet across the floor when it let go. Word to the wise, if the puller makes you remove the nut off the shaft be sure to not get hurt by a flying drum. Ed.

    Jak, there are two diffrent sets Phil Bray made, one set fits the rear ends with the carrier bolts that come through the cover, the other does not. Does anyone know if the set on ebay is the early or late 8 style set? There were old posts here on problems with the late 8 production run. Some sets were returned and either remade or laped in again. I can’t recall the details. Bray also made several runs of gears.
