Karl,

My previous rant here is deleted because it only heightens the angst associated with this topic.

However, I think the need for this entire exchange should not be necessary, but apparently, it is necessary, if for no other reason than to solicit individuals’ opinions.

Cheers,

Peter

My previous rant here is deleted because it only heightens the angst associated with this topic.

However, my question remains, why do we need to deal with this turgid discussion on the “wonders” of the AACA website?

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Perhaps the current website designer, who the PAS paid a lot of money to create our website, needs to fix this website instead of the PAS Website Development Committee suggesting that we flee to an association with the AACA website.

I do not want to be so associated / connected, even if I am a member of the AACA.

Fix it, don’t flee.

I have the same experience each time I click on to a Message Board posting, but it only occurs until I scroll, and then it stops.

Then, the next time I look at a posting, WHAM, JITTER & then it STOPS JITTERING!

I thought it was my MackBook Air

It is far easier to just top-off your gas tank each time you go for a drive than it is to get a K-S gas gauge to work properly.

The K-S gas gauge is why God created electric gas gauges.

The WD-40 Solution, that is, the Red Tube that James mentioned, is the foolproof method.

I bought the kit with the new brass tube, ran it forward to my gauge, installed the fluid with a full tank of gas and then became frustrated when it did not work.

Later, I considered the WD-40 solution, but have yet to install it.

Now, I just fill up before any significant drives.

BTW, I believe that Chris Diekman knows how to properly install the K-S system and make it functional.

Good luck on your quest.

Richard,

I understand that 91 /93 octane fuel (Premium) does not separate / degrade as do the Regular (87) or Mid-Grade (89) gasolines.

The higher octane gas does no harm to a Pierce-Arrow engine.

Below, I post a link to a SUNOCO article on Fuel Stability.

Cheers,

Peter

Jack,

Upon further consideration, I believe that i took my pipes to a local muffler shop and they made up the pipes and got me a correct size muffler that worked for my Series 80.

Contact Waldron Exhausts, they are supposed to be on the Parts &  Services section of this website.

Jim,

I wanted to remove the hinge pins on my Series 80 (front doors, top hinge) so that I could install hinge-mount sideview mirrors.

They would NOT come out!

I too removed the hinge from the door, oiled it and banged the snot out of it.

I could not get them to move!

I took them to my mechanic and he did all types of things to them, but to no avail.

He then asked me if I REALLY wanted it out, and I said yes.

He asked if he could TORCH THEM.

He did, and the pins came out.

I have a can of touch-up paint, so I then repainted them by hand.

Now, they look fine (small exposure), and the PEEP mirrors are in place and quite helpful.

If you are messing with a 95-year-old motorcar, expect to occasionally be stopped dead in your tracks for a few hours until you figure out how to execute what you thought would be a 20-minute job.

Gents & Ladies,

The OPTIMA RED-TOP, 6-VOLT BATTERY DEAL is COMING SOON!

I understand from Optima-Jim that it should run from 1 April through 15 April.

It is only 2-weeks in duration this year, but it will run.

Everyone NEEDS to tell their Non-Message Board / Emporium watching PAS buddies about the deal, and that they NEED to come Online to get the details.

I will post the ordering information here on the Message Board and on the Emporium as soon as I have it.

Gents & Ladies,

Both Larry and June Gould were great supporters of the national PAS and of the New England PAS in particular.

They were both wonderful folks an they are both missed at our various PAS get-togethers.

May they both Rest-in-Peace.

Jim,

The aluminum will corrode, so you should consider painting it with clear coat after installing & pinning it.

Or, you might consider going to a Locksmith and see if they have said cap kicking around on one of the zillion similar locks they have in their boxes of stuff.

They also might even have the correct lock that just needs to be keyed to your P-A key.

Finally, some PAS guys likely have something like it in their box of locks.

I will look in my small collection of door/spare tire locks.

Is it a Yale Lock?

Bill,

It is not difficult to get any Graphics or Sign Company to reproduce something like that, but they will require a minimum order of X-Number of pieces, so you will have a bunch to sell.

You will just need to come up with the rough artwork, including colors, and they will create it for you as a decal, or whatever.

Gents,

I am just keeping this notice up at the top of the listings so everyone who frequents the Message Board has a chance to see it!

I will be in touch as soon as I know the particulars.

Bill,

BTW, if needed, a locksmith can likely re-key your locks.

Gents,

That is Vin Cahill’s Series 80.

It was posted here for a while, but then disappeared.

It is a nice car, but I don’t know if it remains available.
