Coupling disks


Recommended Posts

I probably have included this with the fan belt question. This may also be the solution to my engine problems. The fiber disks that couple the drive to the waterpump, distributor, and generator are in bad shape. I am wondering if there is a source for these. I can fabricate if necessary. I tried cutting the sidewall out of an old tire but it is curved. That make centering the bolt holes nearly impossible.

John Cislak of MA, who is on eBay as pierce_parts_store , reproduces these inexpensively in at least two sizes for 6-cyl and 8-cyl Pierce-Arrows.  He'll need the approximate OD plus (assuming you have four bolts), the OC (On Center) distance between each pair of bolts.  His phone (best way to reach him) is 413-five-four-three-9017.

 

The bad condition of the old ones may be affecting your distributor timing IF the distributor runs off the generator.
