    Jack,

    You need to find a paper roster where the car is listed.

    It is not listed in the 2016 PAS Roster, so the hunt is for the Roster that contains the listing.

    I believe that the last listing for either of those numbers MIGHT BE the 2006 Roster where I believe that I found the listing of the 8011282 number.

    Over the years engines were switched because of mechanical problems, as was mine (crankcase).

    However, what confuses me is the 8011282 is listed as a body number and not the engine number.

    Perhaps, at final assembly, the person who stamped the plate had too many beers during lunch.

    Good luck on the hunt and I will look to see if I have a 2006 Roster in the pile of old PAS stuff that I have stored somewhere.

    I am sorry if this does not clarify matters.

    Jack,

    Is the car a Runabout?

    The number you show as a body number appears on Bernie Weis’ list of cars as an engine number for car number 8011282 owned by a John Wising in Michigan.

    The highest number of an engine listed in Bernie’s list is 8022300.

    After that number, the numbers start with 81 (Series 81).

    The highest body number that I can find is 8022418.

    How about posting a photo of the brass ID plaque?

    BTW Jak,

    Don’t you people from OZ drive on the left (wrong) side of the road, so your Pierce-Arrow is backwards for the roads?

    Jak,

    Nice gams on those Ladies.

    ERR, oh yeah, nice Pierce-Arrow. HA!

    I love women in uniforms, and what are their service units, armor, special forces, paratroopers, what?

    Now, we need a photo of the Jak in a hat, not a cat in the hat, or a Jak in the box.

    Henry,

    I am sure it was a typing slip, but as you know, Roger Sherman is the Esteemed Editor of the PAS publication, The Arrow.

    You must have been thinking of either Roger Smith, the star of “77 Sunset Strip”” or Roger Smith the Chairman and CEO of General Motors.

    OOPS!

    Ed is correct, trust me on that one!

    Randy,

    The process is involved to say the least.

    Someone else should chime in on this one, but I seem to remember that it requires a CHAIN to measure the distance.

    Or, you can take the car to a service station that works on BIG trucks and they can do it for you.

    Randy,

    Karl’s products are GREAT!

    Grab a set and then buy a pair of long black leather boot laces to lace them on.

    Greg,

    You might canvas the regular attenders and the west-coast crowd for their opinions, as only a small percentage of PAS members look at the website with any regularity.

    The time of year is okay and the location sounds superior.

    Bob,

    While we are at it, how about “versus” “vice”?

    Also, do you prefer the “?” inside or outside of the parentheses?

    Very slinky!

    It looks like it is missing both headlight lenses and the auxiliary light lens.

    Are they a part of the bundle of parts sitting in boxes?

    Does anyone know anything about the car?

    BTW, I flush the cooling system three or six times and THEN install the Napa Kool.

    in reply to: Ant freeze solutioni #402741

    Bob,

    You want to be putting some of the NAPA-KOOL or Penrite or Evans Coolant in your system, as they all inhibit corrosion, unlike distilled water or water of any sort.

    Peter

    in reply to: Ant freeze solutioni #402737

    David,

    You can use NAPA Kool, Evans Waterless coolant, Penrite, etc., that are non-ethyl Glycol coolants.

    I live in the Northeast, so I do not drive my Series 80 in the winter and install regular ethyl glycol antifreeze just to keep the system from freezing.

    In the spring, I drain it and flush it three or six times and tenth install the Napa Kool.

    Ethyl glycol antifreeze foams too much for non-pressurized cooling systems and will foam and then begin to syphon out (BAD!).

    That was Del DeRees’ car and I believe that it was recently punched by Greg Long.

    Randy,

    Good for you, Ev Young’s car is excellent.

    I rode with him at the Minden Nevada Meet and boy can he run a stick shift.

    No grinding gears from him.

    We were climbing hills like no tomorrow and the car ran as cool as a cucumber.

    Great purchase!
