Just thought I would mention that, in general, excessive crankcase pressure can cause increased leaking.

That said, some drip is normal. I also have drip pans. Flower shops sometimes have thin plastic pans to catch drips under flowers when they are watered; also used cafeteria trays at the local flea market make great pans.

Maryland Heights; Sheraton Westport Plaza June 6-10.

There is a lot to do in St. Louis, the meet area has nice rural, low-traffic roads. Should be a wonderful time.

I had a great time at my FIRST Pierce-Arrow meet! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make it great: can’t wait for next year! It was special to see so many of the very best at one time. I met so many new friends!

Thanks also to Merlin and Jane Smith for my first ride in a rumble seat!

My Car’s frame is a little rough; I found a company that makes replacements and I may do that rather than try to smooth it up. Also there is not a rubber gasket, but I found glass mounting tape in one of the antique car catalogs.

I want to know all I can before I start taking something apart that I am unfamiliar with. Mine is painted, and I don’t know if it should be painted or chromed, things like that I have to learn. I understand and agree with the laminated glass issue.

My state does not require an inspection on antique-plated cars, which is a break.

Thanks for the information!

Great Car; I just got a ’27 2-door and need to learn everything. Did you have to do anything with the windshield? I am trying to learn how the glass fits in, etc.

Made a photo this afternoon for you:

Fellows, I have had a little time to examine my Car and the Restoration Supply catalog, and I can see that the parts you mention will do the job. I need to do a little cleanup of the channels where these rubber strips fit, maybe a little black paint also, and I think I will have a nice little improvement to my Car.

Thanks for the information and advice!

I understand that, if the Pierce pump is right and packed and lubed right, it will provide good performance. It might drip a drop every so often, but that was the standard then.

It is worth the effort to get it right.

Pics of the worse pair: am I being too particular?

Limousines did not cater to the comfort of the chauffeur it seems.

Dented, wrenched, etc.

I will be looking around for some in better condition.

Thanks!

That’s a true Classic! Beautiful; great job!

The upper part over the dash of my car is shaped like that shown in James Powell’s pics posted May 22nd. It has been painted black, though.

Thanks everyone for the valuable information! I have some 600W.

By loose, I mean I can move the blade tip about 1/4 inch. My fan has an Alemite fitting on the hub, so I hit it a stroke with my grease gun.

I will remove the fan and see what’s inside.

I did find one photo which shows a rubber strip on the bottom of the windshield frame. I am not certain that there is a seal on the car body at the windshield opening, however. Still learning.

James: referring to your posts on May 22nd and the two photos you posted: on my ’27 the upper part below the windshield is painted black; the dash panel has an area on each side, sort of shield-shaped; wood grained with a gold border like inlaid wood; I can’t tell if the remainder of the dash is painted black or was originally a wood grain which has faded. the window trim is wood grained but it has an obvious “did it myself” look.

I wonder if the wood grain was shiny when new? I like that look but I will tend toward originality if I can learn what that was.

Thanks for the help, Everyone! I enjoy looing an everyones’ cars.

Ok it does; thanks,

I would expect many or most would: the pump valves are only check valves after all. They both allow flow toward the engine but not away.
