To answer one of your many questions: The deuce right now has one brake
circuit, feeding the front and the two rear axles, without a proportioning
valve, right? Then I ASSume that you could use a two-circuit MC, using one
circuit for front, and one for the two rears. Of course, as you know,
two-circuit MC's usually activate opposing corners, not front/rear.
What's wrong with the stock OD tranny? Not high enough final drive ratio?
Sworn off women??????? That's OK with us, son We accept posts here from

said. Or did I misunderstand your intended meaning?
