<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hello Phil,</p>
Do you still have any of those parts available?

I am a Series 80 parts hoarder and am interested.

You don’t happen to have a Series 80 cylinder head?

Please be in touch if you have anything left to sell.

Best regards,

Peter Williams

Hello Herb,

Sorry for the much delayed reply to this message.

If one looks at the Webpage activity, one sees that the current number of visitors is Much Reduced from the activity common when our Excellent & Esteemed Paul Morris was the Website Grand Master.

It is a Royal Pain to navigate for some of we PAS Gents.

I believe it is like with this post where there seems to be no automatic capitalization, therefore  it takes MUCH LONGER to post anything because one needs to Spellcheck for Caps on each outing to post a website comment.

oh well!

see what I mean!

no automatic caps at the beginning of a sentence

ugh!

cheers,

peter

Gentlemen & Ladies,

I have never been pleased with the “new and improved” website.

Our previous website, the Paul Morris (PM) version of the website, was far more intuitive and easy to navigate.

Of course, it is no longer available for reviewing its details, so I just go upon my recollection of the countless interesting and happy hours I spent on it.

Apropos of  the relatively few minutes per day / hours per week that I now spend upon the PAS website, it is because the New Website IS A DRAG!.

I just do not like the look, feel and navigation demands now required.

It does not feel intuitive, and I also understand that it is very expensive for the PAS to maintain (perhaps, I am incorrect).

Again, I would prefer a miraculous return of the previous PM version, but I do understand that aside from throwing Paul under-the-bus,  we need to live with what is available.

That stated, just because we need to live with what we have, it does not mean that we have to like it, or frequent it.

This is likely the most time I have spent on this website since it changed.

Curtiss, thank you for raising the issue for discussion, AND LOOK HOW LONG it has been from the first posting on the matter (7 September) until I got in on the chit-chat (21 September).

Cheers,

Peter

Greg,

I believe that I bought my timing chain from Ramsey Products when we rebuilt the engine on my Series 80.

Perhaps, they changed their policies since that time.

Ron,

Did you try recovering the Optima batteries with a sophisticated charger like a NOCO GENIUS?

I just used my NOCO GENIUS 3500 to recover a DEAD Optima RedTop that had been sitting for 1-year.

I think that they are n amazing product.

Good luck,

Peter

Hello Ben,

I want to order one license plate topper.

I don’t expect that you will have a spare minute for a few weeks, so I am not concerned about how quickly it arrives.

Best of Luck for a successful 2022 PAS Meet.

I am sorry that Joanne and I are not coming this year, but I take solace in the fact that we got a new Miniature Poodle Puppy (Black) 4-weeks ago.

Archie, the Poodle, keeps us busy and happy.  He is a HOOT!

I will send a check today for $110.0o, which should cover the cost of the topper, plus S&H.

If you are out of them, then I guess that I missed the boat.

Best wishes for a FUN 2022 Meet,

Peter

Hello Campbell,

Years ago, the engine on my 1925 Series 80 destroyed a piston at a PAS Meet.

I won’t go into detail, but suffice it to say that because of a PAS member “adjusting my carburetor” and I had run through between 8 & 10-gallons of fuel in 25-miles before the engine BLEW!

One of the pistons separated at the bottom of the Second piston ring!!

I was towed to the Meet Hotel and then we pushed it onto my trailer.

OH YEAH, Hart’s, were the people  who refurbished the block and planed the cylinder head.

My Pierce-Arrow is garaged in North Eastern Massachusetts, so I made up a shipping crate that was fundamentally a CRIB that held the engine.

I bolted the engine to the Crib that was made from 2″ X 10″ boards, bolted it down, stopped it down and shipped hot to Hart’s and a few weeks later they returned it to my garage.

Greg Long came in to town and assisted me in rebuilding the engine, piece, by piece.

Greg lives in Michigan, but seems t0 travel for engine repairs.

Greg is:  Have Wrench, Will Travel!

You can consult with other Series 80 / 81 Gents and see what they say.

I hope that this helps.

Best,

Peter

Bill,

What did you think?

Wide and varied pinstripes, eh?

That’s it for now!

Good hunting!

Best,

Peter

Bill,

I don’t think that there was a “correct” wheel striping pattern.

I believe that the customer either indicated which pattern they wanted on their wheels, or they took what was available.

Before I had the wheels on my Series 80 re-striped, I spent lots of time photographing the striping on many Pierce-Arrow cars.

I did that at at that year’s PAS Meet.

The striping patterns are as different as the automobiles.

Photos to follow.
