Hi all,

My name is Holden. Recently picked up a 74 deuce soft top. I decided to get out of turbo V8 cars and get back to
my offroad roots.

Im currently living outside of Fort Bragg (not military), studying Forensic Science at a local university.

Be nice to find a group of MV owners on this side of the state.

Howdy from Raleigh.
The Denton Rally has been mentioned... Drop by if you can... I'll have my XM813 with the MKT in tow.

Thanks all. I heard about the Denton rally from Jim Henry surplus. Im hoping to attend. On a side note, Im having some braking issues. I replaced the air pack after reading about how common it is to go bad. It appears to be functioning now. Bled the entire system and holly crap, Ive seen some bad fluid but Ive never seen fluid go that rotten. Im almost certain it was mostly original fluid or the wrong stuff was put inside and it broke down dramatically. The PO had replaced the master cylinder and it looks to be either reman or brand new; it also appears that it may be leaking. Basically, If i press the pedal all the way down, it goes almost straight to the floor. I can pump it up but the pedal eventually becomes beyond pushable (the pedal) until I let off. Since I changed the air pack and bled the entire system down, its much better and can almost stop. Any ideas? might the master cylidner assembly be causing an issue?
