Gents,

The “VIN” (205002) is incomplete, but regardless trackable (likely 2050026), because the only 1932, 53 – 12-Sedans are either this one or one that belongs to Bob Sands.

I don’t believe that it is Bob’s, or it would be immaculate.

My research shows that it belonged to a Paul McFadden of Ohio (PAS member `66 to `68), and then to Richard Winger of Indiana as of 2006.

I’m just bored and doing some research.

David,

The two pieces on the bottom have the form of the interior door latches on my Series 80, but they are clearly more stylized.

Note the photo.

Gents,

This discussion / notification has been on the Message Board for 7-days and there have been over 400 views (repeats included – like ME).

I wonder how many OPTIMA 6v Red Top batteries were bought because of it?

I trust that I will get a total shortly after 15 May.

Cheers,

Peter

Gents & Ladies,

I contacted Optima Jim on the matter and he cannot replicate the problem, so PASS THE WORD that ordering TWO and THEN ONE, may be the only way to make THREE.

Stu,

Cute, a very electrifyingly story!

Perhaps, the battery will arrive on Thursday!

Keep generating great amp-musing tales.

Cheers,

Thanks for the insight to keep things cranking.

Steve,

WAY TO GO!

Terry,

I will likewise contact Optima Jim.

Terry,

Please contact Optima Jim on the matter, as I am confident that you are in a glitch.

Also, what would preclude you from ordering a single battery to round out the three that you wish to purchase?

The purchase limit is for THREE PER HOUSEHOLD, so I would think that you could, as they say in throwing dice, “Make Three the Hard Way”” (actually the only way rolling two dice).

Ladies & Gents,

Is anyone having difficulties with the instructions, reaching the OPTIMA website or purchasing the batteries?

If so, please advise.

Cheers,

Peter

Ladies and Gents,

When you visit this Message Board Posting and get the info needed to purchase your OPTIMA 6V, please leave feedback here (as did Ken, above) so that this posting remains at the TOP of the PAS Message Board.

If there are no responses, the posting drops in line and is more difficult for others to find.

So far, about 50-PAS people viewed the post.

Let’s see how high that number goes in 30-days.

Thanks and stay charged,

Peter

Ladies and Gents,

I will be posting ALL OF THE INFORMATION NECESSARY to order up to Three, yes, count them, THREE (3), OPTIMA 6V Red Top Batteries delivered to your very own doorstep.

I will be posting that information SOON, and am posting as I am in order to gain the attention of those PAS Members have a tendency to be INATTENTIVE.

I shall repeat this posting on the Emporium SOON, and will likewise post on the Emporium the COMPLETE ORDERING INFORMATION.

Cheers & Good Charging to you,

Peter

That is fantastic!

Randy,

I have the same vague recollection as George about THEN & NOW.

I did replace all of the valve springs in my Series 80, 9-years ago.

Peter

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

Randy,

A NEW ONE or a REPLACEMENT?

I believe that if you want a NEW spring, you need twelve (12).

If you want a REPLACEMENT, you may need one (1) spring.

I’ll look, and Greg probably has 5,000,000 of them.

Peter

Randy,

Did you adjust the valves?

If so, after you discovered that you were missing a clip, did you take a thin wire, like a cheap wire coat-hanger wire and search under and around the valve lifter brackets to see if the retaining clip is lurking there?

I will send you a photo of the valve compressor (maybe two) that worked for me (I tried a number without much success).

Gents,

If you are INJECTING liquid Grease / Thick Oil via the ZERK fitting, you should remove the second cover next to the ZERK fitting so that you don’t increase the pressure inside the steering box and blow out the seals.

It will also begin to overflow when the box is full.

Let the oil settle a bit (15-minutes) to release any bubbles and then see if it will take any more oil.

I prefer to install warmed oil into the second opening rather than pump it through the ZERK.

One time, I used a very LARGE SYRINGE to install the oil.

They are available for $1 – $2 at any Pharmacy, from the Pharmacist.

They are a very handy old-car instrument.
