Ken, Morrison #1 is the correct jack for 1925-27 Ser. 80, and 1928 Ser 81. Handles are harder to find than the jacks. Going price for the handle is $125-$150. Not correct for 1933.

David, I just had a look at the original mat in Charlie Sandos 1931 5 Pass. sedan and see it has the Pierce logo between the shifter and the seat frame. Do you plan to have this detail in the repro? Karl

Eric, this is at the AACA Library, ask them to send you a copy, Karl

David, I have looked in the 1929 and 1930 parts book and there is no mention of use for the mat. I was looking for a final answer for my 1930 Model B Conv. Coupe. I look at it as an open car, needs a mat, but it has windows so a closed car? I then went to period photos and conclude it should have a mat, so add one more to your count. I would not think the 29 club Brougham would see a mat. Karl

Bob, for PAS judging you have two options on casting colors.

Option 1; Paint all castings black.

Option 2: front cover natural, head black, block grey, bellhousing black.

Bolt-ons: Fan housing and bracket, water pump and water outlets, starter, generator, oil pan all black. Note: fan blades polished aluminum

Valve covers, water manifolds, and lower water pipe most times chrome plated, but we also see them all in black. We accept both.

All bolts are stainless or chrome plated for 1929. Pierce used high head bolts in all locations.

Oil cap: Chrome plated

Hope this helps, e-mail or post if you have any other questions on engine paint. Karl

Tony,

Monday night June 8th has 60 rooms all others are many more. I will be contacting them Monday to check on rooms for anyone staying thru Sunday June 14th to go back to Hershey for the Elegance, seem the on-line check-in wont give them a King room for that night even if booking a king for 6 or 7 other days. I am sure they will get that fixed for us.

David, I will give you a call about a display.

Our Host Hotel will average 97% full rate for every day in June and no rooms for weekends. If you are planning to attend the 2020 Meet, book as soon as possible. Thanks, Karl

David, thanks for the correction. I pulled that info from a post on the AACA site. The list did not have spaces, so the price was first, then the car. Those prices realized are a little better for both of them as sitting for a while cars. Karl

Yikes! Anyone want to guess the values if the paint colors were not so 70’s? Orange is not my favorite. Karl

June is almost here. I have a 1921 Pierce arrow truck radiator (heavy with cast iron top and bottom, and two small doors that are actually half doors for my truck in Southern California,if anyone is trailering to the Pierce Meet, please give me a call if you have room for them. If Anyone is trailering to Hershey in the fall that would work also. Thanks, Karl

Eric, Your car makes the third Pierce I have seen with this distributor. It is a perfect drop in fit. That said, I drove one on tour and it performed just fine. If you ever need parts for it, it’s from a 1932 Pontiac Model 302. I think the real reason we see them in Pierce is they were automatic advance distributors. The advance curve is a little difference than the Pierce. The advance starts at 4.5 degrees, Pierce is at 6 degrees. Max advance is 27 degrees. Pierce is 20 degrees. both at 2600 rpms. Point gap is also narrower at .013-.017. This is why our experts were baffled by your original post as it is not Pierce but must of been a “hotrod”” idea back in the day. Karl”

Mark, contact Arnold Romberg, he has the specs you are looking for to check your jet and metering valves. He may not be back from the winter board meeting in Branson, but send him an e-mail. His e-mail can be found in the online roster. Karl
