Our prayers are with the Hancock’s, other folks in FL and the states in Irma’s path.

Thanks for this discussion guys.

Good point Greg, you would think an intermittent shorted battery terminal would be independent of rpm/speed.

Blaine, you have found the problem. The negative battery terminal is delivering power at 6V nominal while the generator is charging the same terminal at that voltage. If the terminal is grounded (6V turned to 0V instantly),ignition and the generator will stop working and be extremely stressed. Not the best for the battery either.

Fix that problem right away and keep an eye on the charge gauge to confirm your generator is ok.

Good stuff David!

Another thing to consider is the distributor shaft that turns the rotor. If the bearing in the distributor that holds the shaft true has excessive wear, you will get an asymmetrical rotation of the rotor that will cause intermittent misfire.

I experienced this condition once and under acceleration, the car seemed fine, but would buck at cruising speed with a tap on the gas.

Best of luck Blaine

Thanks for sharing Calvin. The coil through the firewall is icing on the cake!

Craig, I think your eye is well calibrated.

David and Stu, both you gents would look good in that 33 Silver Arrow.

Kenneth, it was a joy spending time with you this weekend. You were a natural behind the wheel of Dave’s V-12 EDL.

You gents are right on, this event was like a well oiled machine thanks to Dave, Diana and our other hosts.

Weather was a delight, as was the company.

John and Sue.

Bill, if a monsoon hits, we’ll use the Gilmore Amphicar and come get you and Wilma!

Otherwise, it will be very nice to see the 42 and 1240. Didn’t that 1240 in front of the diner make the cover of the Arrow last year?

Hi Eric, bring your 1934 or drive modern, it would great to meet you at the Gathering.

Kenneth, if they do get back, ask for pics of the engine compartment. You could then tell if it’s just top end or the whole thing is Seagrave.

Best of luck looking for a car!

Hi Kenneth, just an FYI-at first glance, this car is showing pumper truck manifolds without Stromberg chokes and non original carbs.

Yes Merlin!-looking forward to seeing my friends and enjoying blueberry ice cream too.

Glenn, I’ve sent you an email on this request with details. The Pierce Arrow Foundation offers excellent quality reproduction rubber mats for 1933-38 at a very reasonable price.

Duane, it was great to see you and many friends in St Louis. Sue and I enjoyed the daily venues as well as the nice weather too!
