Arvydas,
Above, Ed Minnie suggested that you telephone John Cislak as he might have the part you seek.
However, I believe that Ed did not understand that you live in Lithuania.
John Cislak is a PAS member and can be contacted via email at: [email protected].
Good luck,
Peter
Richard,
If you look at the PAS Roster (in the Member Pages Section, just to the left of this message), you can search for PAS members who own the 1911 36-UU.
You will find at least six.
If I were you, I would contact each of them by email and see what they might have in terms of what you need.
I rather expect that some of them restored, or had restored, their 36-UU.
I trust that this information is helpful.
Peter
Richard,
Either the bottom two photos are pre-restoration, or you better advise your restorer to get the rust off of the car.
Peter
David,
Thanks for reminding me of the origin of the Banner /Banner photo.
I think it is GRAND.
I do know that you collect all things Pierce-Arrow and I imagine that your collection would take days to review.
Thank you for your contribution to preserving the Pierce-Arrow history.
You are a maybe not so mini-Pierce-Arrow museum.
Peter
Richard,
The price of a New Pierce-Arrow!
Actually, I don’t have the banner, just the photo, but I am considering a project of reproducing a few dozen of them and offering them for sale.
What do you all think?
Peter
Gents,
Here is a photo that I reduced from 4.5mb to 169kb.
It is a photo of Myron Edson Forbes, wife and friends.
MEF was then president of the PAMCC and is the man who had P-A develop the Series 80 and Series 81 motorcars.
The Series 80 was his “baby” and he is said to have only owned the Series 80/81 cars versus the larger Series 33 cars.
The ownership information comes from his grandson, who also said that Mrs. MEF did not have a driver’s license and was only driven in those cars while MEF was the PAMCC president.
Peter
Gents,
I have posted this before, but for those of you who are MAC users, you can EXPORT your photos in smaller sizes.
Also, if that results in a photo that is too small in scale, you can use PREVIEW to do the same.
Peter
Luke,
John Wozney, a member of the PAS Board of Directors did a survey and one of the items / questions on the survey asked about PAS Message Board use.
I calculated that the number hovers between 10-percent and 15-percent use the WEBSITE more than 4-5 times per month.
A huge majority NEVER visit the WEBSITE, and of course that also means that the NEVER visit the Message Board.
Perhaps John will provide more accurate statistics, as I merely reviewed his survey results and estimated the 10 to 15-percent number.
Peter
I could never own a car that I would have to keep that clean!
Gents,
The link.
Peter
Gents,
In 1970, I owned a band new, Primrose over Black, MG-B.
It was a fun car, but every month I needed to add one quart of oil.
I searched and searched for an oil leak, but I could never find one, nor was there ever any “throw-off” in the engine compartment.
It did not smoke, ergo I remained perplexed.
Even after trying different weights of oil, the oil just disappeared.
British Cars!
My next car, and all that followed were German.
No such problem with any of them.
Peter
Bill,
WOW!
Oil on the floor of the car?
On the front seat floor??
On the up-side or the down-side?
That is a theory, for sure!
WOW!
Peter
Also in the old days (60s / 70s), pouring GOBS of STP in to the crankcase, like a quart into a 4 or 5-quart system, would temporarily quiet, banging bearings long enough to sell the car!
I think that they called that buying an Andy Granatelli Special.
Curtiss,
That is one heck of a way to reduce oil-splash and quiet the engine bearing noise!
Peter
Luke,
In addition to the Marc Ralston book and the AQ, v24, #4, Bernie Weis, editor emeritus of The Arrow wrote a book entitled: The Pierce-Arrow Motorcar.
That book is available through the Company Store (online here) and is a definitive work on the history of the PAMCC.
Next, Brooks Brierley wrote a few books detailing Pierce-Arrow (and other marques), including, but not limited to; There Is No Mistaking a Pierce Arrow.
Finally, Roger Sherman, the current editor of The ARROW, has a book coming out in a month that should cover the topic from A to Z.
Peter
Ken,
I believe that this Series 80 has been around the block a few times for sale.
Others will comment.

Gents,
Just delete the “https://” and then paste it onto the space below for Optional URL, OR, paste it and then edit out the “https://” 
Again!
Peter
Gents,
Here is the active link.
I think that at the next Meet David White should put on a Mini (not Ed Mini) workshop on how to correctly post a link on the PAS website.
Peter
Gents,
It appears from Greg’s photo that on the Series 80 intake manifold, the drop-down neck is shorter than on the Series 81 intake manifold.
It also appears that the neck of the Series 80 carburetor is shorter than that of the Stromberg O-3.
Perhaps, Greg will pass along the K&N filter information (P/N) for you Series 80 Gents, while all of you Series 81 Gents who run the Stromberg O-3, have that info on my post above.
Peter
