Carl,

I attach the article that Leo mentioned above.

It sounds like you are having good luck without making a nice 6-volt into an unnecessary 12-volt.

As Society members, we are here to help each other.

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

Here we go with more info.

If you buy the Optima 6v red tops on Amazon, there is a seller offering them at about $115 each, free shipping.

That is a LOT less than the cost of finding a better starter plus the rebuild cost.

Do what the other guys suggested and you will be cruising.

All of the other comments are great.

Last yea, Arnold Romberg, our stupendous Editor for the Service Bulletin published a SB that walked us through hooking up two Optima 6v batteries in parallel (SB-11-2).

I will send you a copy of the SB.

The Optima batteries are expensive, but they will last much longer than standard led-acid batteries.

They are also easier to find than a 6v Delco 497 starter (including rebuild costs).

Good luck on this problem.

Peter

BUDD wheels are currently manufactured and available used, or at least that is what I can determine.

Check out EBAY or just search online.

Hi Mike,

Happy wrenching!

It is with sadness that we mark Eric’s passing. My exposure was limited to exchanges at MODOC tours, but I was aware that his contributions to the Society were noteworthy. Ave atque vale!

This info is from my Emporium lead listing.

A long lost friend is producing aluminum cylinder heads for Series 80 / 81 cars. The price is $2,100.00. He also has heads for 8 & 12 cylinder Pierce-Arrow engines. If you have interest, contact him at: [email protected] or @ 585-943-6596.

NOTE: I purchased and received the Series 80 cylinder head and it looks quite excellent. Randy is a good guy and a new PAS Member with some very interesting Pierce-Arrow cars. He has a long history in the Collector Car hobby and having these heads made is a sideline for him.

Fay:

This a public addition to my prior kudos!

However, you still need to speak with somebody about a the likeness on the plaque, ’cause it just don’t look like you!

I think this is an expression of value, even if it is not a Pierce-Arrow.

It takes a few minutes, but is worth it.

HI Arnold,

I just Googled REMFLEX and the third listing was about AVOID USING REMFLEX!

Not a ringing endorsement, eh?

Superb, is the best way to describe the Meet.

Thanks to David, Diana, Bill, Wilma and all of David’s “Staff,” as he called those wonderful folks.

It was more fun than the following film clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFv_PoZ2iP0

Make sure you watch it, as it is well worth the time!

That is how much fun we had in KAL-A-MA-ZOO!

Many thanks to the Arkansas and Louisiana crowd for putting on a great get away and meeting. Also thanks for putting up with the interlopers, especially we Yankees. IT was a tremendous gathering of tremendous people.

Keep Piercing,

Peter

Hi Randy,

I do not know of reproduction hub caps, as they show up on EBAY with some regularity (a pair now on EBAY), but I and a number of Series 80 friends had our respective machinists make reproduction / non-functional primer cups. These were not made in a production run, but as individuals to fill the gap for the one or two that were missing on our respective vehicles. I hope the info is helpful, because hunting down those primer cups will be a fool’s errand. They are as hard to find as the steering wheel horn button – I have never seen one for sale on EBAY.

Good luck,

Peter

Hello Randy,

Hello Randy,

I believe that there are a set of B&L Stars on ebay that will fit a Series 81.

If nothing else, there have been a few sets on ebay recently.

Good luck,

Peter
