Gents,
Here is the non-concours K&N setup on my Seres 80.
I believe the P/N of the filter is RD-0700 and as you will see on the photo, it is held in place with a band clamp.
I believe that I telephoned K&N and gave them the OD of the air-horn flange and clearance height so that I obtained the correct filter as there are a dozen different opening sizes for the “B035B4 model they sell.
Ken, also note that I run a Stromberg O-3 carburetor on my Series 80.
That carburetor is from a Series 81 and has been on the car since the late 1920s.
In determining the correct filter to purchase, I made a number of measurements to figure out how much clearance I had between the top of the air-horn, minus the rock cap, and the bottom of the intake manifold, which is also from a Series 81.
Peter
David,
I found a K & N air filter that with a minor adaptation fits nicely on the airhorn of my Series 80.
I DK the part number, but it was not difficult to find the correct diameter and to create a fitting.
If you are interested, be in touch and I will send you a photo or two with dimensions.
Peter
Ken,
California is beautiful, as I think are New Mexico and Arizona.
I believe that the ideal is to live in the splendent Northeast in the summer and in the south or southwest in the winter.
I do not relish snow, but I tolerate it because I do not currently choose to own two homes 1,500 to 2,000-miles apart.
Each region of the country has its charms and its pitfalls and it is grand to go to PAS Meets across the country to sample the summer climate and offerings of those regions.
Attending the winter board meeting does likewise during the winter months.
Peter
Gents,
My Series 80 also has an oil filter canister, although I am absolutely suspect of its utility.
Peter
Gents,
The positive crankcase tube on my 1925 Series 80 comes out of the rear valve cover and goes into the air-horn base of the carburetor.
Peter
Gents,
With everyone having their undies in a twist about the snow in the northeast, we who live there consider this a consequence of what is called WINTER.
The posting started as cute and then degraded to a sales pitch for California real estate (Ken).
ERR, how about FIRES?
I am not sure if the Northeast EVER lost an entire town to FIRE.
Yes, lovely California!
Give me 6 to 12-inches of snow any day rather than uncontrollable wildfires.
I have my BUFFALO GRADE, Track Driven, 28-inch wide, Honda Snowblower and I am all cleared out and ready for Monday Morning!
Also note, I am a Buffalo Transplant, so Winter IS, what Winter Does.
Spring is 2-months, 1-day away!
Cheers,
Peter
Here you go!
Ken,
That Pierce-Arrow is currently on eBay with 23-hours remaining on the auction.
The current bid is $12,600.00.
NO RESERVE!
Peter
David,
You should contact Tony Z.
Peter
Yes, It is UGLY!
William,
They are all 7-digit numbers and 511151 is listed as having been cut up to make a truck.
Peter
William,
NOPE!
Chassis number-511151 that was cut up into a truck from a 1919 7-Passenger Touring is as close as I can find.
Peter
Gents,
The listing.
Peter
Randy,
No match with the number 337025 on Bernie’s listing either.
And David is correct that it is a 1923 year model.
Peter
Curtiss,
De-Jon made high quality electrical do-dads in the 20s and such.
My Series 80 had a De-Jon starter when I acquired the car.
I have since acquired a De-Jon generator and distributor, even though I currently run a Delco-Remy starter, generator and distributor.
I have little doubt that Miles’ comment is correct and that De-Jon make the part for a 20s Pierce-Arrow, Series 36.
That is a rare and valuable find, especially considering the condition.
Peter
Gents,
I believe that Bob Sands is correct regarding the Postcard Pierce, versus the Quam Pierce.
The Postcard Pierce mentions 5-seats and the Quam Pierce is definitely not with the 5-seats.
Stu’s link, or at least the YouTube video associated with it, shows Grant Quam driving his Pierce and a quick look at the back seating shows no seating at all.
Peter
Ed,
The car also does not show up in the 2018 PRINT Roster when I did a search by both chassis and engine number.
There is a one-digit gap (2215224 — 2215226 & 314374 —- 314376) where it would be listed.
Peter
Ed,
Bernie’s list indicates that it is a 1601 and may be last owned by a Grant Quam of Ames, Iowa, chassis #2215225, engine #314375.
There is no such person in the 2018 PAS Roster, however an internet search provides the info shown on this website with the Pierce-Arrow up front!.
Peter
Tony,
Thank You!
Peter
Bob,
Dilly, Dilly back at you!
Peter
George,
I believe that the number of angels that can dance on the head of an oil pump stud depends upon whether they are dancing a Waltz, a Fox Trot or the Charleston.
Regardless, the number is somewhere infinitely north of Avogadro’s number, which is of course, 6.022140857 × 10 to the 23rd.
Peter
