Gents & Ladies,
The OPTIMA DEAL is DONE for 2019!
You might wish to send an email to OPTIMA JIM to thank him for offering the PAS “The Deal””.
Thanks for participating in another successful OPTIMA DEAL.

David,
I figure that YOU were the person to prevail on that eBay auction!
Is that catalog dated?
Peter
Ryan,
You could always offer it for sale on this website.
Of course, you will have to set a price, or try eBay and set a RESERVE.
If you set a HIGH Reserve, you would find out what the maximum bid was and then, if it didn’t sell, re-list it slightly south of that previous maximum bid.
Or, you could always keep it and drive that nice machine all over the country.
Peter
Ed,
I agree with you about those sideview mirrors.
Did they come off of a 70’s FORD truck?
Beaten about the head is too kind of a punishment.
Death by 1,000 cuts would be better.
Peter
Andrew,
Here is the part info: Fan Belts – 24-28 – 80/81 Narrow pulley – Gates #556XS.
You can find this and other info on the Parts & Services section of the PAS Website.
The link is just below the Message Board link to the left.
Peter
Is that a Type-A taillight?
Like honest politicians!
Buy the original parts while they are available, before they disappear.
eBay was once flooded with Series 80/81 parts, but now they are very difficult to find anywhere.
Peter
Obviously, BREWING up some extra cash for the acquisition of another Pierce-Arrow.
Gents,
Three Cheers for Roger Sherman, the Esteemed Editor of our award winning ARROW!
My copy of “Charles Clifton of Pierce Arrow”” also arrived!
Peter”
Toasty!
Robert,
You are obviously kidding!
Read the comments on YouTube!
The YouTube posting is a big DUH and OMG!
Thanks for the Monday Morning Laugh!
Peter
Bill,
No, it is another Gent.
We will see if he gets back to me.
Peter
Bill,
I contacted a guy who is selling a ton of TRIPPE LIGHT parts and asked him if he had any serrated wrenches for the lights.
He thought that he might and with luck will get back to me on the matter and have at least one for sale.
If he does, I will be in touch.
Peter
Mark,
So PAS guys spend YEARS unsuccessfully searching in vain for that can, or any other Duplex P-A can, and you get to buy one when you bought your car.
Talk about falling into your lap.
You are indeed blessed.
Peter
Bob,
My Series 80 has a multi-position light switch.
If I recall correctly, they operate as follows.
The First position turns on just the tail lights.
The Second position turns on the “City” lights, which turns on the tail lights and the small / top bulb in the headlight reflector.
The Third position turns on the low beam (and not the top bulb).
The Fourth position turns on the high beams (and not the top bulb).
On the back of the switch assembly there is a resistor (coil of bare stiff steel wire) that is likely how the low beam is lit by cutting the amps going to the headlight bulb.
Peter
Alan,
I have done the same thing, hijacking, that is, and others have pointed out the tangential chit-chat.
I agree with their idea of staying on topic, and now when I feel the need to go asunder, I send an email to my fellow partner in the hijack.
It makes it better for the group interested in the original posting to not have to scroll through it to find if the offerings ever returned to the original.
Accept my apology if I went off track, but you may know, I have a slightly used vintage bridge to sell and if anyone on this discussion is interested in buying it, they should be in touch in care of my Brooklyn address.
Peter
Gents,
Talk about a hijacked discussion!
How do Cord cars’ engines relate to LED headlight bulbs?
Fill me in because I am quite curious.
Peter
Jasmes,
I didn’t see your big post before I responded above.
My K-S only has the assembly on the right and both the original that came with the car (installed in the 1930s?) and a replacement failed to give the results I sought.
I was not excessively compulsive about the repair / installation, etc., so I probably could have gotten it to work, but instead, I just fill up.
Pebble Beach is not a goal for Chauncey.
Chris Diekman did a nice writeup on the K-S a few years back. Perhaps here?
Peter
Ken and James,
I overhauled / replaced the K-S system in entirety and it still doesn’t work properly.
Tony Zappone once suggested to me a novel and foolproof solution to the infernal K-S fuel gauge problem.
He told me the he took a piece of the RED TUBING that comes with WD-40, cut it to size and dropped it into the open top of the Fuel Gauge Sight Tube.
His fuel is now always three-quarters full and he just gasses up before any major drive or tour day.
Essentially, I do the same, that I gas up a bit, or a lot, before going off for the day.
At PAS Meets, I admonish new members to Fill-UP every morning before a tour.
One Gent who I specifically urged to do so, and who was later fuel-less on the side of the road, explained to me that he “did not intend to run out of gas.”
Ken, one needs to have the gas tank filled before topping off the liquid in the K-S system. That creates a “baseline” for the hydrostatic system.
I would suppose that you need to FILL-UP before you can determine if the gauge will again work correctly.
However, sometimes you just need to add more of the red liquid, which by the way, is UV sensitive, so if exposed to too much sun, the red liquid turns clear.
Peter
