Jim,
I was thinking it was for alignment of the drop arm or something?
Mystifying.
Bill
Jim,
Thanks for the photo. Is there a corresponding hole in the column?
Bill
Jim,
Thanks for the photo. It is definitely an better engineered solution than the Model A Ford pin. Good luck with the exhaust.
Is the hook end held in with a bolt too?
Bill
Jim,
Do you have a photograph?
Bill
David,
Thanks for the info. That slot is an elegant detail. Keeps you from having to totally remove it so it could get lost. How was Hershey?
Bill
Ed,
Thanks for the info. I will ask him when I talk to him again.

Jim,
Now there is a steel salesman’s dream.
Getting back to the Pierce, that car has the black enamel grill slat option. Definitely a different look.
Ken,
I have no idea if the are the same. Greg Long has both cars in stock, maybe he knows. My work has steel and a laser. Let’s see what else pops up on this thread, but I might take you up on your offer.
Anyone else need one of these or the inspection cover plates?
Thanks,
Bi
Ah si agora me acquerdo. Mine was a Olds Custom Cruiser. Sable with afore mentioned vinyl wood siding and chocolate brown leather. After it lost about 50 # due to rust. Traded in, against my wild protests, for a British Racing Green, Chrysler mini van with biscuit leather, like a giant TC.
Ken,
I don’t envy the side affects of the swallows, but the are a hell of a lot more attractive than the buzzards.
Stuart,
What is a station Wagon?
I was in Hudson 30 years ago, where were you?
BIll
Ah yes, Hinckley, Ohio. Sight of the annual buzzard return.
Kind of a Goth version of the sparrows to Capistrano
For those who can’t drive a clutch
In case there is interest, here is the data plate on that car
8014524
That is referred to as Patina, so I have heard
This one is being flipped on Ebay. Starting bid is $6500

I think the eBay one is 12 Volt. Is your’s missing or broke?
Here is the offending mineral.
I do have the original end cap and over the rear axle tube, but I have to move half of Atlanta to get to it. I will report more later.
The exhaust seems to be made( from bottom to top in the picture) from a perforated, lock seamed tube with solid, I’d call them diffuser, cones.
I can’t tell which direction they should be oriented, but I saw no evidence of them being attached to anything but the central tube.
This tube is wrapped by an inner steel, lock seamed full length wrapper. I think there was clearance between the cones and the wrapper, which I think would indicate the bell was towards the rear allowing gas to flow around them?
Next is a sheet of our favorite mesothelioma inducing Asbestos.
Finally, an outer steel lock seamed, full length wrapper.
Here is the carcass of the 836 main exhaust. I will do some measurements and get some other details.
